Advice and tips before washing

Here are some tips that may help you before
washing.

Sorting your laundry

Sort items according to:
how soiled they are
color
material

Clothing

Close zippers so that they don't harm fab-
rics.
New colored items may contain excess
dye and should therefore be washed sep-
arately the first few times.
Turn delicate items inside out. This re-
duces the risk of burling and fading.
Empty pockets and wash them inside out
if possible!

Look at the item's laundry label. The table

ferent materials and wash loads. Using mod-
ern washing machines and detergents, such
as compact detergents, you can usually wash
at lower temperatures. It is a good idea to use
trial and error to find out what produces the
best results.
