Wash tips

Do not:

•wash frayed or torn fabrics.

•wash items unsuitable for washing machines e.g. trainers, shoes or rucksacks. Always:

Care label

•check the wash care label on laundry to select the most appropriate programme. If you are unsure of the care label, use a gentle programme such as Wool.

Mixed fabric load

•wash a mixed load according to the most delicate item in it.

•sort laundry according to care label. Sort laundry according to colours

•wash dark colours separately.

•wash new items separately for their first few washes as excess dye may run. Underwired bras

•We recommend washing underwired bras on the delicate programme,

to safeguard your garments and your machine.

•Take care not to overload the machine when you have underwired bras in the wash.

Prepare your laundry

•empty all pockets before loading the laundry into the machine, fasten zips, draw strings, tie belts and press studs before washing. Turn sleeping bags, duvet covers, jeans, knitted fabrics and coloured items inside out before washing, checking the wash care label.

Duvets & Pillow

•check your duvet is machine washable.

•wash duvets on the Duvet cycle.

•refer to care label for wash temperature and drying recommendations.

•Dyson washing machine will wash most machine washable king size duvets up to

13.5 tog.

Note: Different manufacturers’ duvet sizes

can vary under the same tog rating.

•If the duvet is over 10.5 tog, we do not recommend spinning it. If it is 10.5 tog or below, we recommend a maximum spin speed of 500 rpm.

•To load the duvet into the machine, feed the corner into the rear of the drum and continue to feed the duvet along its outer seam.
