WASHING HINTS6.

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.

6.1 Sorting The Laundry

6.2 Temperatures

90°C

60°C

50°C

40°C

30°C

Cold

For normally soiled, colourfast

garments (e.g. shirts, night

dresses, pajamas....) in linen,

cotton or synthetic fibres and for

lightly soiled white cotton

(e.g.underwear).

For delicate items (e.g. net

curtains), mixed laundry

including synthetic fibres and

woollens bearing the label pure

new wool, machine washable,

non-shrink.

For normally soiled white cottons

and linen (e.g. teacloths, towels,

tablecloths, sheets...).

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.

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 a net.

Make sure that no metal objects are

left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips,

safety pins, pins).

6.3 Before Loading The Laundry

Recommended loads are indicated in the

program charts. General rules:

Washing a maximum load makes the

most efficient use of water and energy.

For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the

load size.

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.

6.4 Maximum Loads

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.

Stubborn stains may not be removed by

just water and detergent. It is therefore

advisable to treat them prior to washing.

6.5 Removing Stains

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or

a rust removing product used in cold

water. Be careful with rust stains which

are not recent since the cellulose

structure will already have been damaged

and the fabric tends to hole.

Wash bras, pantyhose and other

delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which

you can purchase from your

supermarket.

Make sure that you wash lint collectors

separately from lint producers.
