Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use
Choice of detergent
General purpose detergents
– Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agents, are
particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for
heavily soiled and stained laundry.
– Liquid detergents, are particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy
skin marks, cosmetics and oil.
These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not
contain bleach.
– Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really thorough
wash.
Special detergents
– Detergents for coloureds and delicates, without added bleach, also often
without any optical brightening agents, to preserve the colour.
– Detergents for a thorough wash, without added bleach or enzymes,
particularly suitable for handling woollen fibres.
– Detergents for curtains with optical brightening agents, resistant to light, to
prevent yellowing from sunlight.
– Special detergents for programmed use of chemical substances, depending
on fabric type, degree of soiling and water hardness.
Here basic detergents, softeners, bleaches/stain removers can be added
separately.
Additional laundry aids
– Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is
classed as hard to very hard.
– Prewash substances, for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the
main wash.
Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with
bleach-free detergents.
