You typically use detergent cleaner by placing it directly into your washing machine drum.
Using Detergent in Your Washing Machine
The most common way to use detergent is in a washing machine. Here's a breakdown:
- Direct Placement: Most of the time, you put the detergent straight into the drum of your washing machine.
- Dosing Ball: If you use a liquid detergent, such as Persil, use the provided dosing ball to measure the correct amount. This helps prevent over- or under-using the detergent.
- Pre-treatment: You can also use liquid detergent as a pre-treatment. Rub a small amount of liquid detergent directly onto tough stains before placing the garment in the washing machine. This can help to loosen the stain before the regular wash cycle.
Detergent Usage Example
Here's a step-by-step example:
- Sort your laundry according to color and fabric type.
- If you have tough stains, apply a small amount of liquid detergent directly to the affected area. Gently rub the detergent into the fabric.
- Load your sorted laundry into the washing machine drum.
- Measure the correct dose of detergent, either using the machine's dispenser or a dosing ball (if provided).
- Pour the detergent into the drum.
- Select the appropriate wash cycle for your load and begin the washing machine.
Remember to always read the instructions on your detergent packaging for specific usage guidelines.
