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

90°

 

cottons and linen (e.g. tea

 

cloths, towels, tablecloths,

 

 

 

 

sheets...)

 

 

for normally soiled, colour fast

 

 

garments (e.g. shirts, night

60°

 

dresses, pyjamas....) in linen,

 

cotton or synthetic fibres and

(e.g. underwear).

 

 

 

 

 

for delicate items (e.g. net

 

 

curtains), mixed laundry

(cold)

 

including synthetic fibres and

 

woollens bearing the label

30°-40°

 

 

«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.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

bathrobe

 

1200 g

napkin, tea cloth, lady's brief, blouse

 

100 g

quilt cover

 

700 g

sheet

 

500 g

pillow case, towelling towel, night dress

 

200 g

table cloth

 

250 g

man's shirt

 

200 g

man's pyjamas

 

600 g

men's underpanths

 

100 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.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only).

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only).
