2 Environmental tips
• It is not usually necessary to Pre-wash or Soak normally soiled wash-
ing. This will save you detergent, water and time (and protect the en-
vironment as well).
• It is more economical to wash full loads.
• When washing small loads, use half to two thirds the recommended
quantity of detergent.
• Pre-treat stains, if necessary, and then wash at a lower temperature.
• It can be possible to wash without fabric softeners, if clothes are
dried in a tumble dryer, as this can give soft and fluffy results.
• In hard water areas, the use of a water softening agent can reduce
the amount of detergent necessary. See manufacturer’s recommen-
dations.
