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

90° or 95°		for normally soiled white cottons
90° or 95°		and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,
		tablecloths, sheets...)

		for normally soiled, colour fast
		garments (e.g. shirts, night
50°/60°		dresses, pyjamas....) in linen,
50°/60°		cotton or synthetic fibres and for
		cotton or synthetic fibres and for
		lightly soiled white cotton (e.g.
		underwear).

		for delicate items (e.g. net
30°-40°-		curtains), mixed laundry including
30°-40°-		synthetic fibres and woollens
(Cold)		synthetic fibres and woollens
(Cold)		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.

The following weights are indicative:

bathrobe		1200 g
napkin		100 g
quilt cover		700 g
sheet		500 g
pillow case		200 g

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.
