Laundry guidelines

Follow these simple guidelines for the cleanest laundry and the most efficient wash. (It is important that the checkpoints below are followed in order to avoid machine problems or clothing damage.)

If any problems arise due to the fault of the customer, a separate service fee will be charged to the customer.

Always check the Care label on clothing before washing.

•You can fiill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes; but do NOT OVERLOAD the tub. Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause excess wear on your laundry and the washer, and possibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.

•When washing big, bulky items or a few smaller items that don’t fiill the tub completely - a rug, a pillow, stuffed toys, or one or two sweaters, for example - add a few towels to improve the tumbling and spinning performance.

•Check if any clothing items may bleach. Add liquid detergent to a white towel and the garment if you are unsure whether it may bleach. Rub the two items together strongly. Check if the color is transferred to the towel.

•Be especially careful with scarves and imported clothes since they discolor easily. Check for stains or partial dirt. If stains are found, add some detergent to a cloth and rub the stain in a single direction. Soil and dirt may rub against delicate garments causing damage and the wash result may be unsatisfactory.

•If clothes are too soiled, remove them and wash them separately, as dirt may transfer to the other clothing.

• Before washing the following items, sleeves, collars, dress hems and pockets should be pre-treated by brushing them with detergent. Wrinkle-processed clothing made of wool should be specially treated by tying them together (using thread) before washing. The thread is removed after the clothes have dried.

•Metal on clothing may damage your clothing as well as the tub. Turn clothing with buttons and embroidered clothes inside out before washing them. If pants and jacket zips are open during the wash, the spin basket may be damaged. Zips should be closed before washing.

• Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes and damage them. Be sure to fix the strings before starting the wash.

• Turn delicate clothing inside out before washing it.
