How to get the best results from OMO Auto Washing Powder?

For best cleaning results, you want to stick to what the product has been formulated for, to avoid ruining both your clothing and your washing machine potentially. When it comes to the OMO Auto Washing Powder range, here’s how easy it is to use;

For front loaders:

  • Place one scoop of OMO Auto Washing powder into the correct dispenser in your machine.

  • Choose the correct washing cycle and temperature for the fabric or clothing you’re washing

  • If you’re not using OMO Auto + Comfort, be sure to add the correct amount of fabric softener to the correct dispenser in the machine too.

  • Once done, hang out in the sunlight to dry.

  • For heavily soiled laundry loads, you can use one and a half scoops of powder.

For top loaders:

  • The process is exactly the same for top loaders, except you add the washing powder into the drum directly before adding a load of laundry in.

How to tell if you’re using too much auto-washing powder?

It is possible to use too much washing powder, and it can actually be detrimental for your clothing. There are a few signs to look out for which will tell you that you’re using too much powder;

  • After washing, your clothing feels slimy or soapy

  • Your clothing can get light brown stains after washing

  • Coloured clothing can appear dull

If any of these happen, the best solution is to pop the clothing back in the washing machine and set it to the rinse cycle again. This should enable the excess powder to be washed out of the fabric. Always follow the usage directions on the OMO Auto packaging, just one scoop is all you need!
