Unsure about what the best way is to wash your garment? Try these handy tips for some of those
tricky washing challenges:
A
Allergy
If you or someone in your household has allergies we would suggest using a
separate cycle to wash bedding and clothing. This will ensure that all dust mites
and their wastes as well as any residual detergent are removed. Choose the
SHEETS cycle, and select a HOT wash. This cycle is unsuitable for non-colourfast or
heat sensitive items.
B
Beach Gear
These items can be very grassy and sandy. Give them a good shake to remove
excess sand and grass, before placing them into the machine. Choose a
conventional cycle (HIGH EFFICIENCY OFF).
Brassiere
Do up the hooks and eyes and place in a lingerie wash bag. Choose DELICATE
cycle. Select the HIGH EFFICIENCY option if you wish to save water.
Blankets
These items can be difficult to wash as they become very heavy and cause the
machine to become unbalanced. If you are washing just one blanket add a large
beach towel to help keep the load balanced during spin. Remember to use a
wool detergent if it is a woollen blanket and check to make sure that it is machine
washable. Choose BULKY cycle.
Bulky Items
Ensure there is enough free space in the machine to allow bulky items such as ski
jackets and sleeping bags to move during the wash. Choose BULKY cycle.
Business
Use at least a WARM/COLD wash temperature to ensure perspiration is removed.
Shirts
We suggest selecting the EASY IRON cycle to minimise creasing.
C
Curtains
We do not recommend you wash curtains in your washer as the sun makes curtains
very brittle, and they can disintegrate when washed.
Creasables
For items that crease or wrinkle easily, choose the EASY IRON cycle.
Colours
Coloured items can transfer colour to other garments, so should be washed
separately. They can also lose dye if washed in water that is too hot. The COLOURS
cycle has been designed to care for coloured garments and help to maintain their
original colour. Choose COLOURS.
