Advice and tips before washing

Here are some tips that may help you be-
fore washing.
Sorting your laundry
Sort items according to:
• how soiled they are
• colour
• material

Clothing

• Do up zips so that they don't harm fabrics.
• New coloured items may contain excess
dye and should therefore be washed sepa-
rately the first few times.
• Turn delicate items inside out. This reduc-
es the risk of burling and fading.
• Empty pockets and wash them inside out
if possible!

Laundry labels

Look at the item's laundry label. The table
below indicates suitable wash programmes
for various materials and wash loads.

Coloured cotton

Coloured cotton items labelled for hot
washing (60°C) should be washed at 60ºC
the first time in order to remove any excess
dye. If you do not do so, there is a risk that
the colour will run. Use detergent without
bleach in order to preserve the colour of the
fabric.

Delicates

Unbleached linen
Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed
at 60°C, using detergent containing no
bleach or optical whiteners. Heavily-soiled
linen can occasionally be washed at higher
temperatures, but not too often since the
heat can destroy the linen's shine and
strength.
