Very few people realize that washing machines are very sensitive to the type of detergent they use. The problem is that many detergents contain fillers- inert, abrasive materials used to take up space and to clean your clothes by the abrasive action of added silicates (sand). Fillers can cause a whole host of problems including:
- Clogging washing machine drain hoses
- Binding washing machine pumps
- Creating foul odors in washing machines by providing “homes” for bacteria
