A - Check your local water hardness
Washing with “hard water” requires more detergent than washing with “soft” water, this is why you have to check if the preset water hardness matches your regional water hardness.
To find out your local water hardness, ask your local water supply authorities, or use the test strip attached to the Calgon Leaflet provided with your washing machine:
