Detergent for industrial washing machines

Why a household detergent is not suitable

Industrial washing machines operate at high spin speeds and use automatic dosing systems. A household detergent with a high foam load causes overflows, damages sensors, clogs drain pumps and can void the manufacturer's warranty.

The correct industrial detergent has a low-foam formulation, controlled pH and viscosity optimised for peristaltic pumps.

Characteristics of industrial detergent

✓Low foam — no overflow at high spin speeds

✓Controlled pH — does not damage seals or components

✓Controlled viscosity — pump-compatible

✓Non-abrasive — protects the stainless-steel drum

✓Manufacturer certification (Electrolux, Miele, Girbau, Primus, Speed Queen)

✓Lower doses (5–10 g/kg vs. 30–50 g/kg for household detergents)

Risks of using the wrong detergent

Foam overflow

High spin speed + high foam = water escaping the machine and wet electronic components.

Residues that clog pipework

Formulations with mineral fillers block pumps and drains.

Stains on laundry

Poorly dissolved product leaves visible halos and residues.

Loss of warranty

Using a non-certified product voids the manufacturer's warranty.
