Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:

you are washing a small load,

the laundry is lightly soiled,

large amounts of foam form during washing.
