Practical tips
Remove any loose items or metal objects,
such as safety pins, paper clips, etc. from
the laundry.
Brush sand, coins etc. out of pockets and
,,
cuffs.
Close zips and button up cushion covers,
duvet covers, etc.
Remove curtain runners, or secure them in a
net bag.
Particularly delicate items, such as tights or
lace curtains, or smaller items, such as tiny
socks or handkerchiefs, should only be was-
hed in a net bay or pillow case.
Some items are best turned inside out.
These include knitwear, trousers, T -shirts
and sweatshirts.
Make sure that wire-cup bras are machine-
washable.
! Wash wire-cup bras in a pillow case which
can be securely closed with a zip or buttons.
If the wire works itself out of the cup it may
fall through the holes of the drum and cause
extensive damage.
Select a programme that starts with the pre-
wash function to remove protein stains from
the washing.
Stain removal
If possible, stains should be removed imme-
diately while they are still fresh, or at least pre-
treated.
Try soap and water first of all. Dab the material
rather than rub it.
Stubborn, dried-in stains may require several
washes before they disappear completely.
