•Too little detergent has been used.
•An unsuitable detergent has been used.
•Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.
•The programme/temperature has not been correctly selected.
If grey stains remain on the laundry
•Laundry stained with ointments, grease or oil has been washed with an insufficient amount of detergent.
•The temperature selected for the wash programme was too low.
•Fabric softener - especially the concentrated type - has come into direct contact with the laundry. Wash these stains immediately and pour fabric softener carefully.
Foam is still visible even after the last rinse
•Modern detergents often produce foam, even in the last rinse. How- ever the laundry has been completely rinsed.
White residue is left on the laundry
•This is due to insoluble components in modern detergents and is therefore not the result of insufficient rinsing. Shake or brush the laundry. In future, it may be better to turn garments inside out before washing them. Check the choice of detergent; try using liquid deter- gents.
