Wash tips
Do not:
• wash frayed or torn fabrics.
• wash items unsuitable for washing
machines e.g. trainers, shoes or rucksacks.
Always:
Care label
• check the wash care label on laundry to
select the most appropriate programme.
If you are unsure of the care label, use a
gentle programme such as Wool.
Mixed fabric load
• wash a mixed load according to the most
delicate item in it.
• sort laundry according to care label.
Sort laundry according to colours
• wash dark colours separately.
• wash new items separately for their first
few washes as excess dye may run.
Underwired bras
• We recommend washing underwired bras
on the delicate programme,
to safeguard your garments and
your machine.
• Take care not to overload the machine
when you have underwired bras in
the wash.
Prepare your laundry
• empty all pockets before loading the
laundry into the machine, fasten zips,
draw strings, tie belts and press studs
before washing. Turn sleeping bags,
duvet covers, jeans, knitted fabrics and
coloured items inside out before washing,
checking the wash care label.
Duvets & Pillow
• check your duvet is machine washable.
• wash duvets on the Duvet cycle.
• refer to care label for wash temperature
and drying recommendations.
• Dyson washing machine will wash most
machine washable king size duvets up to
13.5 tog.
Note: Different manufacturers’ duvet sizes
can vary under the same tog rating.
• If the duvet is over 10.5 tog, we do not
recommend spinning it. If it is 10.5 tog
or below, we recommend a maximum
spin speed of 500 rpm.
• To load the duvet into the machine, feed
the corner into the rear of the drum
and continue to feed the duvet along its
outer seam.
