An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem Possible cause Remedy

does not give the
required result.

usually contain no
bleaching agents. They
do not remove fruit,
coffee and tea stains.

detergent containing a
bleaching agent.

detergent into a dispenser

particles cling to
washed laundry.

Cottons 95°C
programme with powder
detergent but without a load.
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.
