Questions and answer about the usage of laudry and home detergent.
Hand washing and washing machine laudry
The eccessive use of detergent doesn’t increase the efficiency, on the contrary low doses may be insufficient to remove the dirty completely. On each of fiorillo laudry there is the dosages schedule which enables the client to establish the perfect quantity for every washing. The choice depends on 3 factors : the degree of dirty (written in the columns) water hardness (written in the lines) and the quantity of laundry.
It is the quantity of limestone in a liter of water and it is measured in french’s degrees. It is an important element to establish the quantity of detergent. The iones (calcium and magnesium) that are in the water, influence the washing. The higher water hardness will be the higher the quantity of detergent you will need. On the contrary in soft water a lower quantity of detergent is needed.
If you do not know the hardness, you should ask the water company. The details to contact can be generally found in the water bill or on the internet.
If you use a low quantity of product, your clothes tend to wear out, harden and loose elasticity. The recommended quantities prevent the formation of limestone on your clothes and in the washing machine.
Lightly soiled There are are not stains or visible dirty. Examples: summer and gym clothes (used for a short time) shirts, t-shirts toilets and sheets (used only for a day).
Normally soiled: Visible dirty and stains. Examples t-shirts and shirts (used for more than one time) linen (worn for a day) toilets and sheets (udes for one week).
Heavily soiled: Visible dirty and various stains. Examples: kitchen linen, tablecloths, working clothes, football clothes (grass stains), etc.
First of all you should check the information wrtitten on the labels in order to make a distinction according to temperature and type of cloth. Separate dark clothes from light ones, putting together the clothes with the same colour that need the same temperature.
New clothes can release colour during the first washing, for this reason we recommend to wash them at low temperatures.
First of all, check the technical details of your washing maschine. Alternate small clothes with big ones. Use the right quantity of detergent because higher doses ruin washing quality, as well as the clothes and the washing machine. In order to avoid the fall of buttons, turn the clothes upside down and button them. Avoid too heavy or light loads, you should follow the loading instructions according to the selected programme.
Fiorilllo laudry is efficient even at low temperatures. High temperature washings waste water and electricity. It is important to wash clothes at the right temperature, you can save almost the 50% of energy with washing cycles at 40° C. Furthermore, low temperatures together with the right dose of detergent, reduce the loss of colour and the damage of fibers.
The use of Fiorillo softener is recommended because it makes your laundry softer and more perfumed as well as facilitating the drying and the ironing.
If a stain hasn’t moved out in the first washing cycle, we suggest to treat it with a higher dose of detergent before the next cycle. Otherwise, you can soak it all night and use 140 ml of Fiorillo laundry Colormix in 10 lt of water.
It is not recommended to do so. Heavy soiled linen need more detergent, while lightly soiled linen can be washed at 30°C with less detergent. In this way you will save energy and product.
