–
If the coloureds are new, you would be
better off washing them separately
several times.
Dirtiness
–
Sort the garments according to how
dirty they are, and treat any which are
especially dirty or have some particu-
lar stain.
–
Treat any very dirty parts beforehand,
especially the collars and cuffs.
–
For garments which are not very dirty,
select preferably a short programme. In
that way, not only do you get an exce-
llent wash, but you will also be saving
energy.
–
Select a normal Washing Programme
for normal dirty garments.
–
Select a Long Programme with Prewash
for very dirty garments.
Delicate garments
–
The material of which certain garments
are composed or the way in which they
are made can make them sensitive to
motion, so in order to wash them we
recommend you should select the
DELICATE PROGRAMMES which your
washing machine is equipped with.
–
Select your washing machine’s SPE-
CIAL WOOL PROGRAMME for washing
woollen garments.
–
Check beforehand whether your gar-
ments can be machine-washed.
Label Information
There are normally symbols on the labels
of the collars or the side seams of gar-
ments. These symbols tell you:
–
Maximum WASHING temperature.
–
The products with which they can be
and cannot be washed.
–
Treatments for looking after them.
–
Temperatures and appropriate ways for
them to be ironed.

Treating stains
There are many occasions when, due to the
type and characteristics of some stains, you
do not obtain satisfactory results from the
wash. Here is a series of special treatments
which you can apply to these stains prior to
washing them in your machine.
Water-soluble stains
Treat even stubborn stains with a generous
dose of detergent or a washing paste.
Stains which won’t dissolve in water
Treat these stains with a special cleaning
agent.
