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 and Delicates programmes,
-
you may need to use the Extra Rinse
function to remove excess detergent
from the laundry. (See page 22.)
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.
