With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents. Also available are tablet detergents which state that that no salt or rinse aid is required. In some cases, these detergents might not give good results, especially with short and/or low-temperature washing cycles. a white coating on the tank or dishes, poor drying, dirt on dishes at the end of the wash) are noted, users are advised to return to conventional products (granular salt, powder detergent and liquid rinse aid).
