Washing and Drying advice

The following tips are designed to assist in getting the best results from your machine whilst using it in the most environmentally-friendly and economical way. It is also important to understand the items to avoid in your laundry, to ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of your machine.

Loading your washing machine

To make further reductions of energy, water and detergent consumption, we recommend that you put a full load into your machine. Energy savings of up to 50% can be achieved by washing one full load compared to two half loads.

Do not overload the machine as this will reduce the quality of the wash and may cause damage to the machine and your laundry.

When is prewashing really needed?

Only with particularly dirty loads! Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for less dirty laundry. Pre-treat awkward stains with a washable stain remover.

Which wash temperature should you choose?

Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures over 60°C.

Using a 40°C wash temperature can make energy savings of up to 50%.

Heavily soiled laundry

To ensure the best performance when washing a particularly dirty load, we recommend that you reduce the amount of items to be put into the machine. Allowing more space in the drum the items can circulate more freely and will wash better.

Sorting the laundry

Items to avoid

We recommend that you do not wash underwired bras in the machine. Should the wires become detached they could cause damage to your clothes and the machine. If the washcare label states that the bra is machine washable then we advise placing it in a wash bag.

Recommendations

Always follow the wash care labelling on the garments.

Fasten zips, tie strings and close press studs to prevent
