Tips for washing delicates

Putting laundry in the drum

Pile them one on top of each other.

Detergents

For wool items, use a mild liquid

-

detergent. Other detergents may

damage the clothes.
With Wool programme, you may need to

-

use the Extra Rinse function to remove

excess detergent from the laundry. (See

page 30.)

Hanging the laundry

Hang out white or light-coloured wool

-

and nylon items away from direct heat or

sunlight.
After washing, lay out wool and nylon

-

clothes, and return them to their normal

shape before hanging in the shade. This

saves on ironing too.
Hang wool items without folds or

-

creases, or spread them out to dry.

Use hangers for shirts, blouses and

-

trousers.

You may wrap a towel around the

hanger to approximate the clothing’s

shoulder width so that it will retain its

shape as it dries.

If clothing shrinks in the wash

Spread the item out to its original size on

an ironing board. Use dress pins to hold

the size and shape. Then, use an iron to

steam it and leave it to dry.
