Helpful hints and tips

Sorting out 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, wool- lens.

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.

Temperatures

95° or 90°

60°/50°

40°-30°- Cold

for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, ta- blecloths, sheets...)

for normally soiled, colour fast gar- ments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or syn-

thetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear)

for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the la- bel «pure new wool, machine wash- able, non-shrink»

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy.

For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

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 washing pro- gramme charts.

tea cloth, ladies’ briefs, napkin,

100 g

blouse, men’s underpants

 

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.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the gar- ment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
