Finally I found a way to Cheat the twindos system.
As you know Miele detergents are freakin expensive. But still you can’t refill the twindos due the the consistency of detergents. Twindos detergent is really watery. It’s like juice. Today visiting a corner store I found this Ariel. I opened the lid to smell it when I realized that it’s watery like the Miele detergent !! I was shocked. I did some measuring and looks like a standard dose for a full load is like Miele’s detergent :58ml So I bought a funnel and refilled the twindos container. Guess what .. IT WORKS. Not only it works but I already run 20 cycles just to make sure that it’s not gonna clog the twindos system. And yes it works ! The only issue is that the owner at local store run out of it. I was lucky to get 3 bottles so now I’ll Have to wait.

I hope you are not using 58ml for each full load. | ||

I agree with Jerrod about your dosage. You could probably dial it down even more to 20-30 ml. I personally use Tide Ultra Stain Release Free and Ecover non-chlorine bleach in my TwinDos containers. I have somewhat hard water and fairly oily skin so have my phase 1 set to 30 ml and phase 2 set to 20 ml and I think that is about the maximum I'd go. I have even thought dialing it down slightly but get wonderful results on my hard to clean dark gray percale sheets that are unforgiving in showing body oils.

Don't have a dog in this particular hunt..
However nearly all dosing devices one has for liquid or gel European detergents max at 30-35 ml. That should tell you something.....
Unless one is using super cheapo liquid detergent (which contain large amounts of water), 35 ml should be more than enough for full loads of the most badly soiled or marked. | ||

I do the same thing with my carts using persil for about 5 years now. No clogs so far.
After the water softener install I'm down to 19 ML per regular load but often use the "light" setting which no one really seems to know what the reduction is but still works really well with half sized loads. As for dirt loading comparison between myself and the average guy Id say my stuff is probably worse than you average city dwellers. I'm in a rural areas, do a ton of yard, field, mechanical, and dirty work and this amount of soap works just fine for just about everything. | ||
