It’s important for a good wash
The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenser is
opened by rotating it outwards.
Rememberthat liquiddetergent
is only designed for wash
cycles of up to 60 degrees on
non pre-wash items.
Specialcontainers aresold with
liquid or powder detergents for
placing inside the washing
machine drum, these are
positioned according to the
instructions found in the
detergentbox
Never use hand wash
detergent,because it may form
too much foam, which could
damagethe washing machine.
Detergents that are specifically
formulated for both hand and
machine wash are an
exception.
One last secret: when washing
with cold water, always reduce
theamountofdetergentyouuse:
it dissolves less easily in cold
water than in hot water, so part
of it would be wasted.
