washing a load of laundry
WHICH DETERGENT TO USE
The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry detergent, which is designed for automatic washing machines.
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your area. If you do not know how hard your water is, enquire at your local water authority.
Do not use detergent that has hardended or solidified as the detergent may remain in the rinse cycle. It may cause your washing machine to not rinse properly or result in the overflow becoming blocked.
Detergent use
•The use a good quality top loader detergent is recommended.
•It is also important to:
Sort clothes by the amount of soiling. Avoid overloading.
Powdered detergent should be thoroughly dissolved in a small amount of warm water before adding to the machine.
Reducing the amount of detergent used may reduce the effectiveness of the cleaning action.
