Cautionary note
Excess soap can damage your machines or clog your sewerage system. It is important to dose your product correctly. If the water in your area is hard (water is supposed to be “hard”), you should increase the PH value by adding soda powder, e.g. by adding baking powder, which improves the effectiveness of the soap and reduces deposits.
