Washing hints

Sorting the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

 

 

for normally soiled white

95°

 

cottons and linen (e.g. tea

 

cloths, towels, tablecloths,

 

 

 

 

sheets...)

 

 

for normally soiled, colour

 

 

fast garments (e.g. shirts,

50°/60°

 

night dresses, pyjamas....) in

 

linen, cotton or synthetic

 

 

fibres and for lightly soiled

 

 

white cotton (e.g.

 

 

underwear).

 

 

for delicate items (e.g. net

 

 

curtains), mixed laundry

(cold)

 

including synthetic fibres and

30°-40°

 

woollens bearing the label

 

 

«pure new wool, machine

 

 

washable, non-shrink».

 

 

 

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.

New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing.

Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste. Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the programme charts.

General rules:

Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;

Synthetics: drum no more than half full;

Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full.

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.
