	make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause
	build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute
	the environment.
	! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
	create too much foam.
	! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for
	pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
