Pre-wash
treatment
Particular care
with certain
fabrics
34
New, dark coloured items often have an excess of dye.
During the wash, this can be transferred to lighter
coloured
fabrics.
It is better to wash
such
items
separately the first time.
Treat stains as soon as possible, while they are still
fresh,
with
water,
soap
or appropriate
pre-wash
treatment (stain spray, pre-wash paste etc)
Empty Pockets
In particular,
remove
metallic objects (paper clips,
safety pins etc.)
Button
pillow slips.
Close
zip fasteners,
hooks
and
eyelets. Tie loose belts and apron strings together.
Worked coloured fabrics, wool and fabrics with attached
decorations should be turned inside-out.
Small
and
delicate
objects
(e.g.
baby
socks,
stockings) can be easily washed inside a smail piliow-
case with a zip fastener or in larger socks.
Treat curtains with particular care
They can be damaged simply by open windows or on being
removed (so-called "runs").
Place small metal rings or
edged plastic rings in a net or bag.
We can in no case assume responsibility for damage. Only
spin-dry curtains if it is approved by the manufacturer.
