OKO tips for
economic
washing
30
For the sake of the environment ...
These instructions will help you to act in an environmentally
conscious manner :
For normally soiled washes,
programmes without pre-
wash are provided.
Compared
to a programme
with
pre-wash, you save on water and detergent.
Only use detergent with bleach additive if the wash is
soiled with spots which can be bleached.
Bleaches are
particularly effective at high temperatures.
Consumption
of the machine is most favourable when
it is full.
For
light to normally
soiled
washes,
the
saving
programme is often sufficient; it uses lower temperatures
which are maintained for longer periods.
Spots and stains can be removed
by appropriate pre-
treatment.
This saves a programme
for heavily soiled
clothes.
Use the detergent exactly as advised by the manufac-
turer.
Too much "wates" your money and is bad for
the environment.
Follow the instructions for lightly
soiled garments.
Savings on detergent and for the environment may also
be achieved
if with medium
to hard water you add
sufficient
detergent
for soft water
and
then
add
separately a softener.
This
relieves
our waters
of a
certain amount of chemicals.
Use fabric softener only when
necessary,
e.g. with
synthetic mixed fabrics, to avoid static charging.
If you
use a dryer, your wash
will be soft and fluffy even
without fabric softener.
