If the wash results are not satisfactory
Washing is grey and scale is being deposited in the drum Too little detergent is being used. The right detergent was not used. Special soiling was not pre-treated. Programme or temperature was not correctly set. There are grey stains on the washing. Washing soiled with ointment, grease or oil was washed with too little detergent. It was washed at too low a temperature. A common cause is that fabric conditioner especially a concentrate has got onto the washing. Such stains should be washed out as quickly as possible and make sure that you are careful when using fabric conditioner. After the last rinse foam can still be seen. Modern detergents may create foam even in the last rinse cycle. The washing is however sufficiently rinsed. There are white residues on the washing. This is due to the insoluble ingredients in modern detergents. They are not caused by insufficient rinsing. Shake or brush the washing. If possible turn the washing inside out before washing. Check your choice of detergent. Especially with dark colours it is advisable to use liquid detergents.
Carrying out an emergency drain
