How to reduce detergent consumption

Five levers to reduce consumption

1. 1

   Monthly pump calibration

   A poorly calibrated system can overdose by up to 20%. Calibrate with a measuring cylinder every 30 days.

2. 2

   Migrate to a concentrated detergent

   Biogold at 5–10 g per kg of dry laundry, according to soiling level.

3. 3

   Soften the water if it is hard

   Water above 25 °fH consumes up to 30% of the detergent in neutralising limescale. A water softener pays for itself quickly.

4. 4

   Dosing proportional to the load

   If your machines have a weight sensor, enable load-proportional dosing. Savings of 10–15%.

5. 5

   Replace peristaltic tubes on time

   A worn tube lets more product through. Replace every 6–12 months depending on use.
