Preparing a Wash Load
Sorting and preparing a wash load
•Sort washing according to care symbol and type (see "Washing types and care symbols").
•Empty all pockets.
•Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
•In order to prevent bunching up of washing and damage to washing, close zippers, button up duvets and pillow cases, and tie up loose straps such as from aprons.
•Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags, anoraks etc.).
•Coloured, knitted fabrics, as well as wool and textiles with appliqués should be turned inside out.
•Place small and delicate articles (socks, tights, bras, etc.) into a washing net or a pillow case.
•Handle curtains with care. Remove metal strips or plastic hooks.
•Do not wash coloured and white washing together. White washing will otherwise turn grey.
•New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these items separately the first time.
•Mix small and large articles of washing! This improves washing effi- ciency, and the washing is more evenly distributed during the spin cycle.
•Shake out washing before placing into the washing machine.
•Do not place folded washing into the drum.
•Observe tips such as "wash separately" and "wash separately several times"!
