PRACTICAL TIPS
Load tips
WARNING: when sorting laundry, make sure:
- have eliminated metallic objects such as barrettes, pins,
coins, from laundry;
- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts
and long robe ribbons;
- to have removed rollers from curtains;
- to have carefully read clothing washing labels;
- to have removed any persistent stains using specific deter-
gents.
• When washing rugs, bedcovers or other heavy clothing, we
recommend you avoid centrifuging.
• To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed
and marked by the “Pure virgin wool” symbol with the
“Does not mat” or “Machine washable” label.

Maximise The Load Size
• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time
by using the recommended maximum load size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2
half loads.
Do you need to pre-wash?
• For heavily soiled laundry only!
SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy
consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight tonormal-
ly soiled laundry. Is a hot wash required?
• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in
water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot
wash programme.
Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.
Following is a quick guide with tips and recommendations on
detergent use at the various temperatures. In any case, al-
ways read the instructions on the detergent for correct use
and doses.
When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using
cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing
powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at
medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.
For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent
used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level
of soiling.
Normal powders are suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics
with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour protect-
ing” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels
of soiling.
For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the
use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as
suitable for low temperature washing.
For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically for-
mulated for these fabrics.
