FAQ
How long it takes for Terra Wash+Mg to raise pH level of water to around 10.5?
About 5 to 10 minutes depending on the amount of water used by a washing machine. Less water leads to faster raise in pH level.
After using Terra Wash+Mg for a while, I feel the power of washing is little weaker or not working anymore. What could be the possible reasons?
First, measure the weight of your Terra Wash+Mg and make sure it has more than 70 - 80kg(2.5 - 2.8oz). If it is less than the amount, then, it is the time to replace to new one.If it is more than the amount and you feel like it is not working properly, surface of magnesium pellets may be little oxidized than average. To remove oxide film, prepare a bowl of white vinegar that you can find in the kitchen and soak Terra Wash+Mg (the whole sachet) for about 5 minutes. After soaking, rinse off vinegar from Terra Wash+Mg by using water. (Vinegar leftover will facilitate magnesium consumption, so please rinse off very well.) It is now ready to be used again.Moreover, leaving Terra Wash+Mg in wet place like in washing machine for long hours when not in use will also facilitate unnecessary oxidation, please make sure everytime to air dry after use.
