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.

Temperatures

95° or 90°

for normally soiled white cottons

and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, ta-

blecloths, sheets...)

60°/50°

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)

40°-30°- Cold

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»

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.

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.

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.
