Sorting the laundry

It is recommended you wash only items which are washable with water and detergent and not dry-clean items.

If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.

Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: follow the labelling on the garments.

Examples:

Laundry for hot wash

Coloured, easy-care materials Delicates and wool

Items labelled with the following symbols are not suitable for machine washing:

Wash by hand

Dry clean

For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc., you are advised to use a laundry net or wash bag.

Woollen items must be labelled with the “Pure New Wool” symbol if they are to be washed in the machine, and must also be labelled “non-matting” or “machine washable”. Please check the laundry item for the label.

Colour often leaks from new coloured items.

This can then colour other lighter items being washed.

We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time separately .

For future washes, non colourfast items can only be washed with white laundry up to 40°C.

Do not wash
