PREPARATION OF THE WASHING

Sort the laundry

1. Sort the laundry according to…

Type of fabric / care label symbol Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics, wool, handwash items.

Colour

Separate whites and coloureds. Wash new coloured items separately.

Size

Wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve washing efficiency and distribution in the drum.

Fabric delicacy

Wash delicate articles separately: use a special

programme for Pure New Wool , curtains and other delicates. Always remove curtain glides

or wash curtains with the glides inside a cotton bag. Use the special programme for handwash fabrics. Wash stockings, belts and other small items or articles with hooks (e.g. bras) in special cotton bags for washing machines or in zipped pillow cases.

2.Empty pockets

Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage your laundry as well as the washing machine’s drum and tub.

3.Fasteners

Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.

Stain removal

Blood, milk, egg and other organic substances are generally removed by the enzyme phase of the programme.

To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit stains etc. add a stain remover to the main wash chamber of the detergent dispenser.

Particularly stubborn stains should be treated before the wash.

Dyeing and bleaching

Only use dyes and bleaches that are suitable for washing machines.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Plastic and rubber parts of the machine may be stained by dyes or bleaches.
