How much washing powder and fabric softener?

The amount to be used depends on

•the load:

If the washing powder producer does not make any specifications for small loads, use a third less for half loads, and for very small loads only use half of the amount of washing powder recommended for a full load.

•the degree of soiling of the washing:

For only slightly soiled washing use less washing powder. Follow the instructions of the washing powder producer and load.

•on the degree of hardness of the tap water:

The harder the water, the higher the dosage! You will find the quanti- ties to use according to water hardness on the washing powder pack- aging.

Liquid detergent

Add liquid detergent using the dosing device provided by the detergent industry. Please follow the instructions on the package.

Using a water softener

For a medium to high degree of water hardness (from water hardness area II) water softener should be used. Follow the manufacturers instructions! Then always dose detergent for hardness area I (= soft). You can find information about the local degree of water hardness from your water utility.

2 As the water softener has to be added before the main detergent (pre- softening of the water), 80% of the water softener otherwise needed is sufficient.
