Washing tips and hints
Sorting your laundry:
Sort your laundry according to the following
characteristics:
•
Type of fabric care label symbol:
Sort laundry into cottons, mixed
fibers, synthetics, silks, wools and rayon.
•
Color:
Divide whites and colors. Wash new, colored items separately.
•
Size:
Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the
washing action.
•
Sensitivity:
Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash
program for pure new wool, curtains and silk articles. Check the labels
on the items you are washing or refer to the fabric care chart in the
appendix.
Emptying pockets:
Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage
linen, the washing machine drum, and the water tank.
Securing fasteners:
Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose
belts or ribbons should be tied together.
Prewashing cotton:
Your new washing machine, combined with mod-
ern detergents, will give perfect washing results, thus saving energy, time,
water and detergent. However, if your cotton is particularly dirty, use a pre-
wash with a protein-based detergent.
Determining load capacity:
Do not overload the washing machine or
your laundry may not wash properly. Use the chart below to determine the
load capacity for the type of laundry you are washing.
