Ensure the detergent drawer is dry before adding powder, or place the powder in a dosing ball directly into the drum.

Store the pack in a moisture-free area and ensure the seal is airtight between uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This powder is designed for standard domestic laundry cycles. To achieve the best results, ensure you follow these guidelines:
- Dosage: Always measure the powder according to your machine's manual and the soil level of your laundry. Over-dosing does not improve cleaning power and can leave residue.
- Temperature: While effective at various temperatures, standard washes between 30 and 40 degrees Celsius are generally sufficient for the plant-based surfactants to activate.
- Storage: Keep the packaging sealed in a cool, dry environment. High humidity can cause the powder to absorb moisture, leading to clumping which may hinder proper dissolution in the detergent drawer.
- Maintenance: If using a front-loading machine, occasionally wipe down the detergent drawer to ensure no buildup of powder occurs, which helps keep the machine running efficiently.
