wool, handwash items.
• Colour
Separate whites and coloureds.
Wash new coloured items separately.

Wash items of different sizes in the same load to
improve washing efficiency and distribution in the
drum.

programme for Pure New Wool
and other delicates. Always remove curtain glides
or wash curtains with the glides inside a cotton
bag. Use the special programme for handwash
fabrics. Wash stockings, belts and other small
items or articles with hooks (e.g. bras) in special
cotton bags for washing machines or in zipped
pillow cases.

your laundry as well as the washing machine's
drum and tub.
