•Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise problem.
•Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or pillow case.
•Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain attachment items.
•Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.
•Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labeled products only with an appropriate programme.
•Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.
•Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If unsure, check with a dry cleaner.
•Use only dyes/colour changers and limescale removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the package.
•Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
•Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling.
•Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken off before placing into the machine. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may build up on the inner parts of the machine in time and can cause damage.
