a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of the water
softener. Obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.

If the water hardness in your area is high

use a water descaling product for

To remove rust particles use only special
products for washing machines. Do this
separately from the laundry wash.
