3 Preparation

3.1 Sorting the laundry

• Sort laundry according to type of fabric, colour, and degree of
soiling and allowable water temperature.
• Always obey the instructions given on the garment tags.

3.2 Preparing laundry for washing

• Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwired bras,
belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove
the metal pieces or wash the clothes by putting them in a laundry
bag or pillow case.
• Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and
paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and brush. Such objects
may damage the product or cause noise problem.
• Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon stockings
in a laundry bag or pillow case.
• Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain
attachment items.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.
• Wash "machine washable" or "hand washable" labeled products
only with an appropriate programme.
• Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured
cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.
• Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If unsure,
check with a dry cleaner.
• Use only dyes/colour changers and limescale removers suitable
for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the package.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few
hours before washing. This will reduce pilling.
• Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust,
milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken off before placing
into the machine. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may
build up on the inner parts of the machine in time and can cause
damage.
