Detergents and conditioners
The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance, will depend on
oThe degree of soiling. Lightly soiled garments in general require less detergent.
oThe size of the wash load. A smaller wash load will require a reduction in the amount of detergent.
oThe hardness of your tap water. The harder your water is, then the more detergent you will need to use. The detergent manufacturers normally give guidance as to how much extra detergent should be used, depending on the hardness of the water.
Liquid detergent
If you are using liquid detergent, then in the majority of cases the liquid should be placed inside the dosing device supplied by the detergent manufacturer. All instructions on the detergent packaging should be followed.
Water softening agents
If your tap water is hard, then it may be prudent to utilise a water softening agent. This will help to ensure that the appliance does not become clogged with hard water deposits. You may also find that it will allow you to lessen the amount of detergent that you are using.
When using any detergent or water softening agent, the recommendations of the manufacturer should be followed.
