Preparing a Wash Load

Sorting and preparing a wash load

 Sort washing according to care symbol and type (see "Washing types
and care symbols").
 Empty all pockets.
 Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
 In order to prevent bunching up of washing and damage to washing,
close zippers, button up duvets and pillow cases, and tie up loose
straps such as from aprons.
 Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags,
anoraks etc.).
 Coloured, knitted fabrics, as well as wool and textiles with appliqués
should be turned inside out.
 Place small and delicate articles (socks, tights, bras, etc.) into a
washing net or a pillow case.
 Handle curtains with care. Remove metal strips or plastic hooks.
 Do not wash coloured and white washing together. White washing
will otherwise turn grey.
 New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these
items separately the first time.
 Mix small and large articles of washing! This improves washing effi-
ciency, and the washing is more evenly distributed during the spin
cycle.
