particles cling to
washed laundry.

detergent were used to

of grease in heavily
soiled laundry.

White residues
which look like
powder detergent
are seen on dark
textiles after
washing.

residues with a soft brush
once the laundry is dry.

Wash dark textiles using a
detergent which contains no
zeolites. Liquid detergents
usually contain no zeolites.

programme for dark coloured
laundry.
