Colour test
A coloured item frequently runs when it is
first washed unless it is guaranteed colour-
fast.
Before placing the item in your machine,
conduct the following test:
- Select an invisible area of the item
- Dampen it with warm water
- Then press it on a white cloth
• If the item does not run, you can wash
it normally in your machine.
• If the item runs, wash it
separately
in
your machine or by hand.
