Tips for washing delicates:

easily put into the drum. Put it into the drum whiling
making sure it is flat.
Change the direction of each laundry if there are
many laundries to ensure even overall thickness.
※

proper value. In this case, observe the specifications
on the rated capacity.
Detergent

Other detergents may damage the laundry.

Preparations before Washing
Hanging the laundry
- Hang out white or light-coloured wool and
nylon items away from direct heat or
sunlight.
-
After washing, lay out wool and nylon
clothes, and return them to their normal
shape before hanging in the shade. This
will help to reduce the ironing time.
-
Hang wool items with creases smoothed
out, or spread them out to dry.
- Use hangers for shirts, blouses and
trousers.Wrap a towel around the hanger
to approximate the clothing's shoulder
width so that it will retain its shape as it
dries 。
If clothing shrinks in the wash
Spread the item out to its original size on an
ironing board. Use dress pins to hold the size
and shape. Then, use an iron to steam it and
leave it to dry.
