Empty Pockets

New, dark coloured items often have an excess of dye. During the wash, this can be transferred to lighter coloured fabrics. It is better to wash such items separately the first time.

Treat stains as soon as possible, while they are still fresh, with water, soap or appropriate pre-wash treatment (stain spray, pre-wash paste etc)

In particular, remove metallic objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.)

Button pillow slips. Close zip fasteners, hooks and eyelets. Tie loose belts and apron strings together. Worked coloured fabrics, wool and fabrics with attached decorations should be turned inside-out.

Small and delicate objects (e.g. baby socks, stockings) can be easily washed inside a small pillow- case with a zip fastener or in larger socks.

Treat curtains with particular care

They can be damaged simply by open windows or on being removed (so-called “runs”). Place small metal rings or edged plastic rings in a net or bag.

We can in no case assume responsibility for damage. Only spin-dry curtains if it is approved by the manufac- turer.
