How much Detergent and Fabric Softener?
The amount to be used depends on
• the load:
If the detergent manufacturer does not make any specifications for
small loads, use a third less for half loads, and for very small loads
only use half of the amount of washing powder recommended for a
full load.
• the soiling:
For only lightly soiled washing use less washing powder. Follow the
instructions of the detergent manufacturer and load.
• the water hardness:
The harder the water, the higher the dosage! You will find the quanti-
ties to use according to water hardness on the detergent packet.
Using a Water Softening Agent
In hard water areas, the use of a water softening agent can reduce the
amount of detergent necessary. See manufacturers recommendations.
