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

1. Do up zips and close Velcro straps so that
they don't harm fabrics.
2. New coloured items may contain excess dye
and should therefore be washed separately
the fi rst few times.
3. Turn delicate items inside out. This reduces
the risk of burling and fading.
4. Empty pockets and wash them inside out if
possible.

Examples of washing instructions and recommended programs. Always follow the washing instructions for each garment.

Laundry labels

Material

Cotton, linen, cotton/polyester. Light and dark-coloured garments.
Acrylic, viscose, modal, acetate, polyester, polyamide and
elastane. Light and dark-coloured garments.
Wool, silk and other very delicate garments
or

Coloured cotton

Coloured cotton items with the washing
instruction 60 °C should be washed at 60 °C for
the fi rst time in order to remove any excess dye.
If you do not do so, there is a risk that the colour
will run. Use detergent without bleach in order to
preserve the colour of the fabric.
Laundry labels
Look at the item's laundry label. The table below
shows suitable wash programmes for diff erent
materials and wash loads. Using modern washing
machines and detergents, for example compact
detergents, you can usually wash at lower
temperatures. It is a good idea to use trial and
error to fi nd out what produces the best results.
