For normally soiled, colourfast
garments (e.g. shirts, night
dresses, pajamas....) in linen,
cotton or synthetic 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 label pure
new wool, machine washable,
non-shrink.
For normally soiled white
cottons and linen (e.g. teacloths,
towels, tablecloths, sheets...).
Never wash whites and coloured
fabrics 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.
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 a net.
Make sure that no
metal objects are
left in the laundry
(e.g. coin, hair clips,
safety pins, pins).
Washing a maximum load makes the
most efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the
load size.
Cotton, linen
drum full but not too
tightly packed;
Clothes Load Quantity
Synthetics
drum no more than
half full;
Delicate fabrics
and woollens
drum no more than
one third full.
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.
Stubborn stains may not be removed by
just water and detergent. It is therefore
advisable to treat them prior to washing.
Wash bras, pantyhose
and other delicates in a
mesh laundry bag,
which you can purchase
from your supermarket.
Make sure that you wash lint collectors
separately from lint producers.
