Front loading washing machines are different and need a laundry detergent like Omo Front Loader. The tumble cleaning action and low water usage associated with front-loaders means that they require low sudsing detergent to work at their best. Other detergents can produce too many suds when used in front-loaders. The excess lather can cause flooding, impair cleaning and damage the machine. Merely reducing the dose of a high sudsing detergent may prevent oversudsing but it will also reduce the cleaning power resulting in an inferior wash. Omo Front Loader is designed specially for front-loading washing machines and is recommended by all leading front-loader manufacturers. The Omo Front Loader laundry detergent range suitable for both front loaders and high efficiency machines includes: Omo Front Loader, Omo Front Loader Sensitive, Omo Ultimate Front Loader and Omo Alpine Fresh Front Loader.

It is not necessary to pre-dissolve Omo or Omo Front Loader laundry powders.  However if you do experience powder residues on your clothes there are a number of steps you can take to prevent it. Powder can get trapped between clothes and sometimes cannot dissolve properly. If this happens and you are left with a fine residue on your clothes put them through an extra rinse. To ensure this doesn't happen again try to avoid overloading your machine and dose the recommended amount of detergent.

Optical brighteners are ingredients which help to make fabrics look 'whiter and brighter'. The majority of laundry detergents contain optical brighteners. Note: Optical Brighteners (OBAs) are also called fluorescers or fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs).

Omo Sensitive and Omo Front Loader Sensitive laundry detergent are dermatologically tested and specially formulated without dyes and perfumes. 

To achieve optimum wash results the recommended dosage stated on the pack should be followed.

Using too little detergent causes poor soil and stain removal, greying of whites and soil build-up in the machine. Using too much detergent is uneconomical and increases the risk of over-foaming and thus poor rinsing of clothes.

The term 'biological' is a European term used to inform consumers when a product contains enzymes. Products with enzymes are referred to as 'biological' while products without enzymes are termed 'non-biological'. If you are looking for a non-biological product use Omo or Omo Front Loader Sensitive laundry powder or Omo or Omo Front Loader Small & Mighty Senistive Liquid detergent. (Omo products apart from the Sensitive variants are biological.)

This is a new generation of concentrated powder detergents – they are 2x concentrated. The 2x concentration means that the laundry powder can deliver the same cleaning performance at half the dose per wash, therefore the dosing scoop is smaller. This means the pack is half the weight but you get the same number of washes as before, making it easier to handle and lighter to carry. This move is a result of our commitment to improving the environmental impact of our products. It reduces the amount of packaging used per wash.
