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
• 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
separately the first few times.
• Turn delicate items inside out. This
reduces the risk of burling and fading.
• Empty pockets and wash them inside out
if possible!

error to find out what produces the best
results.
