The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to
prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing

The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical
compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free

compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free
but contain natural enzymes.
- Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against
grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C.
- Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower
temperatures (from 40 to 55°C) and are more easily
biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at
low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be
achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents.
