Dungaree alert.

Very popular “salopette” type overalls have straps with hooks that can damage the drum of your washing machine or other garments during the wash. To minimise the risk, place hooks in the pocket and fasten with safety pins.

Holidays: unplug the appliance.

It is recommended that you should unplug the machine from the socket and turn off the water supply. Leave the door ajar to allow air circulation to the draw and the door gasket area.This will prevent unpleasant odours.

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 else inside the appliance, this will ensure that the overall weight does not exceed the half load. Remember to use the specific programme 10 which automatically 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 kg. Repeat rinse once or twice using the gentle spin.

Trainers.

Once you have removed mud and dirt from trainers, you can even wash them with jeans or any other tough garments. Do not wash trainers with whites.
