Detergent
You may use all modern detergents suited to domestic
washing machines.
The use of the detergent depends on the type of wash and
the degree of soiling.
Soiling is differentiated according to :
Dirt, e.g. dust, soot, sweat, grease etc.
Bleachable stains, e.g. red wine, fruit, vegetables
etc.
Protein stains, e.g. blood, milk etc.
The different types of washing products are :
Washing powders containing bleach
Liquid detergents, not containing bleach
Colour and delicate detergents, not containing
bleach, often also not containing optical brighteners,
gentle on fabrics
Wool detergents, free of bleach and enzymes,
particularly gentle on wool fibres
Curtain detergents with light proof optical brighteners
to avoid yellowing through the effect of sun light.
“Kit” detergents
These allow separate dosing of basic detergent, water
softener and bleach and stain removers.
Water softeners for softening of the mains water
Bleach or stain removers, for localised use on
stained articles or as an additive when using bleach-
free detergents.
Pre-treatment for localized use on stains
Fabric softeners prevent electrostatic charge build up
on synthetic fabrics and gives the wash a soft feel
Starch and fabric conditioners give body to the
fabrics and facilitate ironing
Dyes and dye removers may only be used if authorized
by the manufacturers of these products
