Maximise The Load Size
• Achieve the best use of energy,
water,
detergent
and
time
by
using
the
recommended maximum load
size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full
load instead of 2 half loads.
Do you need to pre-wash?
• For heavily soiled laundry only!
SAVE
detergent,
time,
water
and
between 5 to 15% energy consumption
by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to
normally soiled
laundry.
Is a hot wash required?
• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak
dried in stains in water before washing to
reduce the necessity of a hot wash
programme.
Save up to
50%
energy by using a 60°C
wash
programme.
Following is a quick guide with tips and
recommendations on detergent use at the
various temperatures. In any
case,
always
read the instructions on the detergent for
correct use and
doses.
When washing heavily soiled whites,
we
recommend
using
cotton
programs of 60°C or above and a
normal washing powder (heavy duty)
that contains bleaching agents that at
medium/high
temperatures
provide
excellent
results.
For washes between 40°C and 60°C
the type of detergent used needs to be
appropriate for the type of fabric and
level of
soiling.
Normal powders are suitable for "white"
or colour fast fabrics with high
soiling,
while
liquid
detergents
or
"colour
protecting"
powders are suitable for
coloured fabrics with light levels of
soiling.
For washing at temperatures below
40°C we recommend the use of liquid
detergents or detergents specifically
labeled as suitable for low temperature
washing.
For washing wool or
silk,
only use
detergents specifically formulated for
these
fabrics.
