Preparing clothes for washing
Laundry items with metal attachments
such as, bras, belt buckles and metal
buttons will damage the machine.
Remove metal attachments or place the
items in a clothing bag, pillow case, or
something similar.
• Empty pockets and remove all foreign
objects such as coins, pens and
paper clips. If possible, turn pockets
out and brush.
• Place small items like infants’ socks
and nylon stockings, etc. in a laundry
bag, pillow case or something similar.
This will also save your laundry from
getting lost.
• Place curtains in the machine with
care. Remove curtain rails and
pullers.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons
and mend rips and tears.
• Wash “machine washable” or “hand
washable” labelled products only with
an appropriate program.
• Do not wash colours and whites
together. New, dark coloured cottons
may release a lot of dye. Wash them
separately.
• Tough stains must be treated
properly before washing. If you are
not sure, check with a dry cleaner.
• Use only dyes/colour changers and
lime removers suitable for machine
wash. Always follow the instructions
on the packaging.
• Wash trousers and delicate clothes
turned inside out.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora
wool in the freezer for a few hours
before washing. This will reduce
pilling.
