Sorting the laundry

– It is recommended you wash only items which are washable with water and
detergent and not dry-clean items.
– If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to
spin them.
– Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash
temperature: follow the labelling on the garments.
Examples:
Laundry for hot wash
Coloured, easy-care materials
Delicates and wool
– Items labelled with the following symbols are not suitable for machine
washing:
Wash by hand
Dry clean
For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc., you are
advised to use a laundry net or wash bag.
– Woollen items must be labelled with the "Pure New Wool" symbol if they are to
be washed in the machine, and must also be labelled "non-matting" or
"machine washable". Please check the laundry item for the label.
– Colour often leaks from new coloured items.
This can then colour other lighter items being washed.
We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first
time separately.
For future washes, non colourfast items can only be washed with white
laundry up to 40°C.
Do not wash
