Washcare tips
Useful tips
Never use your washing machine to wash... torn, fraying or
non-hemmed linen. If it is absolutely neccessary, place it
in a bag for protection. Do not wash colored linen with
whites.
Watch the weights!
For best results, do not exceed the weight limits stated
below (figures show weight of dry garments):
- Resistant fabrics (heavy - regular-light cotton):
12 lbs (5 Kg) maximum
- Synthetic fabrics (heavy-regular-light):
6 lbs (3 Kg) maximum
- Delicate fabrics
4 lbs (2 Kg) maximum
Denim Alert.
Some overalls have straps with hooks that can damage the
drum of your washing machine or other garments during
the wash. To minimize the risk, place hooks in the pocket
and fasten with safety pins.
- Pure new wool
2.5 lbs (1.3 Kg) maximum
- Bathrobe 5.5 lbs (2.5 Kg) maximum
How much does it weigh?
1 sheet 1 1/4 lb (400-550 gr.)
1 pillow case 4 oz . (120 gr.)
1 tablecloth 1 lb (450 gr.)
1 bathrobe 2-3 lbs (900-1,300 gr.)
1 towel 5oz/1 lb (150-500 gr.)
Colored T-shirts , printed ones and shirts last longer if
turned inside out before washing.
Printed T-shirts and sweatshirts should always be ironed
inside out.
Wool cycle
For best results, we recommend you use very little
detergent, taking care not to wash more than 2.5 lbs
(1,3 Kg) of laundry.
Vacations: 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.
Understanding Fabric Care Labels
The symbols on labels of your garments will help you in choicing suitable wash program, the right temperature, wash cycles
and ironing methods. Don’t forget to give a glance to these useful indications !
