Washing machine powders

Dosing for Top Load Washing Machines

Add the recommended quantity of top load washing machine powder either to the machine bowl or down the centre of the agitator for most standard washing machines. Then add the clothes.

Tip: In top loaders do not put powder on top of clothes.

Dosing for Front Loaders & High Efficiency Washers

Add the recommended quantity of powder to the dispensing drawer and put the clothes in the washing machine.

                                                                                                   1 tablespoon = approx 12gms

                                                                                                                           1 scoop = 60gms

  3. I have a Siemens front loading washing machine. My daily load is 3 – 4 kg with sweat, body fluids and some dirt as the commonest offenders. I use a 40 C cycle with 20 g of surf excel-matic front load detergent. I still find that some clothes have a hint of sweaty smell in them. And the sweat ring on the collar of my jogging shirt doesn’t come off. I cannot use any excess detergent as it may suds in the drum. What can be done to get a better laundry performance?

  4. I would like to suggest Surf Excel to come up with a liquid laundry detergent for front load washing machines. I have heard that since the liquid dissolves much better in a lesser quantity of water (which is what the case is in a front load washer), it distributes uniformly giving a thorough and better performance than powder detergent.
