Too little detergent was used.

An incorrect detergent was used.

Individual stains were not pre-treated.

The programme or temperature was not set properly.

There are grey stains on the washing

Items that were soiled with ointments, fats or oils were washed using too little detergent.

The wash temperature used was too low.

A common cause is that conditioner – in particular the type in con- centrated form - has come in contact with the washing. Wash out such marks as soon as possible and exercise care when using the said conditioner.

Foam can still be seen following the final rinse

Modern detergents can cause foam to be created even during the fi- nal rinse. In spite of this, the washing has been sufficiently rinsed.
