Troubleshooting
Soap residue on clothes
Ensure the flakes are fully dissolved in warm water before adding them to the machine.
Excessive sudsing in machine
Reduce the dosage of soap flakes used per load, as they are concentrated.
Difficulty dissolving
Use hotter water for the initial dissolution step and stir vigorously until the liquid is clear.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the flakes, take a measured amount and dissolve them in a jug of warm water until no solid particles remain. Once dissolved, pour the solution into the detergent drawer or directly into the washing machine drum.
- Compatibility: Compatible with all standard washing machines, though high-efficiency machines may require smaller amounts to prevent excessive sudsing.
- Care: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the flakes from absorbing moisture and clumping. Ensure the packaging is sealed tightly after every use to maintain the integrity of the product.
