If the wash result is not sat-
isfactory

The washing is grey and there are limes-
cale deposits in the drum

• Too little detergent was used.

• An incorrect detergent was used.

• Individual stains were not pre-treated.

• The programme or temperature was not set prop-

erly.

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 concentrated form - has come in con-
tact 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 final rinse. In spite of this, the
washing has been sufficiently rinsed.

There are white residues on the washing

• What can be seen here are insoluble substances

which modern detergents contain. They are not the
result of insufficient rinsing.
Shake or brush the washing. If possible turn the
washing inside out before washing. Check your
choice of detergent. Especially with dark colours it
is advisable to use liquid detergents.
