[. . . ] note: The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents (check detergent information on pack) can have the following effects: ­ waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of a white powder (zeolites) held in suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected; ­ presence of white powder on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric. ­ The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor rinsing. ­ Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases.
