If the washing results are not satisfactory
If the washing is grey and there is a build up of scale in the drum
• Too little detergent was used.
• The wrong detergent was used.
• Particularly soiled areas were not pre treated.
• Program or temperature were not set correctly.
• When using component detergents, the individual components were
not used in the correct proportions.
If there are still grey stains on the washing
• Washing soiled with ointments, grease or oils was washed with too
little detergent.
• Too low a temperature was used for washing.
• A common cause is that softener – particularly that in concentrated
form – has got onto the washing. Wash out any such spots as quickly
as possible and use that particular softener carefully.
If foam is still visible at the end of the last rinse
• Modern detergents can cause foaming even in the last rinse. The
washing is however sufficently rinsed.
If there are white remnants on the washing
• This is an insoluble material contained in modern detergents.
This is not the result of unsatisfactory rinsing.
Shake or brush the washing. Perhaps you should turn the washing
inside out before washing in future. Reconsider choice of detergent,
possibly use liquid detergent.
