Washing guide

Sorting the laundry into categories:

To obtain the best washing results, we recommend that

you sort your laundry into categories:

- on the one hand, resistant laundry which can withstand

powerful washing and spinning;

- on the other hand, delicate laundry which should be

washed with care.

For mixed loads or loads consisting of garments made

from fibres of different types, select a programme and

temperature suited to the most delicate fibre.

Temperatures

High temperature : 90°C

Ideal for cotton, linen and hemp garments such as tea

towels, towels, sheets, pillow cases, etc. The generally

white fibres may be heavily soiled.

Average temperature : 60°C

Recommended for whites which are not heavily soiled

and for fast coloureds, for synthetics and mixed cotton.

All these garments contain a care label stating that they

can be washed at a maximum temperature of 60°C.

Low temperature : 30-40°C

Ideal for delicate synthetics, silk, acrylic and woollen

garments containing the care label “pure new wool - does

not shrink - (

)". All other woollen garments must in

general be dry cleaned or handwashed.

Washing coloureds

When washed for the first time, coloureds may loose

their colour which may run onto other garments.

To ensure that the colour does not run, we recommend

that you perform the following simple test:

Removing stains

Remove certain stains which may not come out, espe-

cially if they are old, by working from the outside of the

stain towards the inside to avoid making rings.

Grass. Wash carefully, treat with diluted bleach. For

woollen garments, methylated spirits may achieve good

results.

Felt tip pen. Dab with a clean cloth soaked in methyl-

ated spirits. Take care not to spread the stain.

Rust. Use an anti-rust product, following the manufac-

turer’s recommendations carefully.

Scorch marks. If the fabric is only slightly scorched and

provided that the colours are fast, soak in water with a

little bleach, otherwise soak the fabric in a solution of 10

parts water to 1 part hydrogen peroxide and leave for 10

- 15 minutes.

Chewing gum. Dilute it with nail varnish remover then

remove it with a clean cloth. Ensure that the fabric can

withstand the nail varnish remover.

Tar. Spread a bit of butter onto the stain, leave then

sponge off with turps.

Lip stick. Place the stained side of the fabric on kitchen

paper then dampen the reverse of the fabric with nail

varnish remover taking care to change the paper under-

neath the stain frequently. Ensure that the fabric can

withstand the nail varnish remover.

Paint. Do not allow paint marks to dry. Treat immedi-

ately with the solvent specified on the paint tin (water,

turps, white spirit). Wash then rinse.

Wax. Scratch off the wax with a blunt blade to remove

as much as possible, then iron it placing a sheet of silk

paper between the iron and the stained fabric.

Check the laundry

Empty all pockets.

Close zips and poppers.

Remove curtain hooks or place the curtains in a laundry

bag.

Remove loose buttons, pins and clips.

To protect them, place curtains in a pillow case for

example.

Fasten or remove loose buttons.

Select a non visible

part of the garment

Dampen with

warm water

If the colour runs

handwash the

garment

Then press it between a

white piece of cotton

If the colour does not

run, you can machine

wash it
