Dosing

To get the best results from your washing it is important to the use the detergent correctly and add the right amount.

Using too little detergent can cause poor cleaning results, and dirt or hard water deposits may build up in your machine. Using too much is uneconomical and increases the risks of poor rinsing of clothes and over sudsing/foaming in front loaders.

Both how dirty your washing is and the hardness of the water in your area and can determine the amount of detergent you need to use.
