chlorine,
2. those containing phosphates but no

3. those containing neither phosphates

When a phosphate-free detergent is used

in conjunction with hard water, there is a
greater possibility that white marks will be
left behind on crockery and glasses, etc.
These can be avoided by pouring an
increased amount of detergent into the
dispenser.

Chlorine-free detergents have a reduced

bleaching effect. This can mean that tea
stains are not completely removed or
plastic items become discoloured.

This can be resolved by:

D increasing the amount of detergent,
