Here are some tips that may help you before
washing.
Sorting your laundry
Sort items according to:
• how soiled they are
• colour
• material
Clothing
1. Do up zips and close Velcro straps so that they
don’t harm fabrics.
2. New coloured items may contain excess dye
and should therefore be washed separately
the first few times.
3. Turn delicate items inside out. This reduces
the risk of burling and fading.
4. Empty pockets and wash them inside out if
possible.
Laundry labels
Look at the item's laundry label. The table below
shows suitable wash programs for different
materials and wash loads. Using modern washing
machines and detergents, for example compact
detergents, you can usually wash at lower
temperatures. It is a good idea to use trial and
error to find out what produces the best results.

Coloured cotton
Coloured cotton items with the washing instruction
60 °C should be washed at 60 °C for the first time
in order to remove any excess dye. If you do not
do so, there is a risk that the colour will run. Use
detergent without bleach in order to preserve the
colour of the fabric.
Unbleached linen
Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed at 60
°C, using detergent containing no bleach or optical
whiteners. Heavily-soiled linen can occasionally
be washed at higher temperatures, but not too
often because the heat can destroy the linen’s
shine and strength.
