It is suggested to put bras into
a
pillow
case
prior to washing
and tie closed to prevent the steel
wire from popping out of bras and
d
amaging the
machine.
Especially delicate textiles such as lace curtains,
small items
such as
tights, socks, handkerchiefs,
ties etc. should be put into string bag and sealed for
washing.
When washing single bulky item
s
such as towels, jeans,
quilted jackets etc. it may easily cause unbalance due to
increased eccentricity. Therefore it is suggested to add one
or two more items of clothing to the wash, so that draining
can be done smoothly.
Items that are easily stained such as white sockets, collars, sleeves etc. should be hand
washed before being put into the washing machine, to achieve more ideal washing results.
When using powdered detergents or additives, it is suggested to use some water to dilute the
powder in order to prevent the inlet of the detergent box from being blocked and overflowing
while filling with water.
To protect baby skin
Baby clothes and towels, including towel nappies should be washed separately. If they are
washed together with adult
cloth
ing
on normal cycle, the detergent may cause irritation to the
babies skin. The baby care programme increases the rinsing time to ensure the thorough
rinsing and cleaning
of the fabric, by
removing all detergent residues.
