technology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are not feature add-ons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are decision systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Essence Wash pre-mixes detergent into a concentrated solution before applying it directly to fabric, improving cleaning efficiency while reducing residue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Smart Dosing adjusts detergent automatically based on load weight and fabric type, ensuring the right amount every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The machine starts thinking for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A simple framework to get it right every

slightly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: Adjust for water hardness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hard water reduces detergent effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such cases<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Slightly increase quantity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use machines that optimize wash cycles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Quick
