Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of

 

 

 

detergent: adding too much detergent won’t necessarily

 

make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause

 

build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute

 

the environment.

 

! Do not use hand washing detergents because these

 

create too much foam.

 

! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for

 

pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.

! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
