Washing hints
Sorting the laundry
• Follow the wash code symbols on each garment
label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions.
• Sort the laundry as follows:
whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
• Never wash whites and coloureds together.
Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.
• New coloured items may run in the first wash; they
should therefore be washed separately the first
time.
• Make sure that no metal objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
• Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks
and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
• Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub
particularly soiled areas with a special detergent
or detergent paste.
• Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or
tie them up in a bag or net.
Temperatures
60°-95°
for normally soiled white cottons and
linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...)
60°
for normally soiled, colour fast
garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses,
pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic
fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton
(e.g. underwear).
(cold)
for no-fast coloured or delicate items
30°-40°
(e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry
including synthetic fibres and woollens
bearing the label «pure new wool,
machine washable, non-shrink».
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than
one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient
use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water
and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them
prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried
stains, soak overnight in water with a special
detergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the
stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay
the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with
the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust
removing product used cold. Be careful with rust
stains which are not recent since the cellulose
structure will already have been damaged and the
fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites
and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and
fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*),
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual
marks from white fabrics with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and
treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any
residual marks with bleach.
