Fabrics
– Wash fabrics which will be worn
directly against the skin, e.g.
underwear, baby clothes, socks etc.,
at a temperature of at least 60°C or
the maximum temperature indicated
on the garment care label.
The Hygiene +95°C programme uses
very high temperatures to deactivate
germs and household dust mites
rapidly. Check the care labels in
garments before using it!
The Hygiene + 60°C programme has
a longer temperature holding time in
the main wash to deactivate germs
and household dust mites.
– When buying garments, check that
they can be washed at a temperature
of 60°C.
– Wash new garments before wearing
them for the first time.
The First wash programme will
remove any chemical residues from
new garments.
Textiles which tend to run should be
washed separately. You may wish to
wash them several times before
wearing them for the first time.
– Pillows
Use the Pillows hygiene programme
to remove household dust mites from
pillows.
– Pillow and mattress covers should be
washed regularly, at least every 3
months.
Tips for allergy sufferers
Detergent
– Use detergents without added
fragrance.
– We recommend using detergents
which have been specially designed
for those with sensitive skins or
allergies.
– Detergent components will vary
depending on the manufacturer so it
may be a good idea to try out several
makes of detergent to find the one
which suits you best.
Number of rinses
– The wash programmes are designed
to rinse garments very effectively.
– Pressing the Rinse plus button,
introduces a fourth rinse in the
Hygiene + , Cottons Universal and
Minimum iron programmes.
– You can also programme the
washing machine (using the
programmable functions) so that a
fourth rinse is introduced in the
Hygiene + and Cottons Universal
programmes as standard.
If a fourth rinse has been
programmed into the washing
machine, then pressing the Rinse
plus additional option button will
introduce a fifth rinse.
