• Even if excess amount of detergent is used, there is not much difference in washing

result. It may cause damages to the garments because rinsing is not enough.

• The bleaching agent may cause damages to garments since it is strong alkali.

• Do sufficient rinsing because the powder detergent is easily remained on the

garments causing bad odors.

• If too much detergent is used or cold water is used, it doesn’t dissolve completely and remain on the garments, hose or spin basket, causing contamination on clothes.

• In case of reserved washing, detergents must be put in the detergent box. If the powder detergents are spread on laundry directly, it may cause discoloration.
