How to wash almost anything

Curtains.

Curtains tend to crease a great deal. A useful tip to reduce creasing: fold the curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Do not load anything elseinsidetheappliance,thiswill ensure that the overall weight does not exceed the half load. Remember to use the specific programme 10 which automa- tically excludes the spin cycle.

Quilted coats and anorak. You can wash quilted coats and wind-cheaters, too, if they are padded with goose or duck down. Do not load more than 2-3 kg and never load 5.5 kg. Repeatrinseonceortwiceusing the gentle spin.

Trainers.

Onceyouhaveremovedmudand dirt from trainers, you can even wash them with jeans or any other tough garments. Do not wash trainers with whites.

This has been made possible thanks to the speed of the drum at 90 rpm, even during the rinse cycle, thus

preventing the fibres from rubbing.

Always use programme 9 with garmentsbearingthehandwash symbol: the washbasin and hand.
