HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

SORTING OUT THE LAUNDRY
Follow the wash code symbols on each
garment label and the manufacturer's
washing instructions. Sort the laundry as
follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, deli-
cates, woollens.
TEMPERATURES
for normally soiled white cot-
95° or 90° tons and linen (e.g. tea cloths,
towels, tablecloths, sheets...)
for normally soiled, colour fast
garments (e.g. shirts, night
dresses, pyjamas....) in linen,
60°/50°
cotton or synthetic fibres and
for lightly soiled white cotton
(e.g. underwear)
for delicate items (e.g. net cur-
tains), mixed laundry including
40°-30°- synthetic fibres and woollens
Cold
bearing the label «pure new
wool, machine washable, non-
shrink»
BEFORE LOADING THE LAUNDRY
Never wash whites and coloureds together.
Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the
wash.
New coloured items may run in the first
wash; they should therefore be washed
separately the first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are
left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety
pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,
hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long
tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special
detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove
hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.
MAXIMUM LOADS
Recommended loads are indicated in the
washing programme charts.

General rules:
• Cotton, linen: drum full but not too
• Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
• Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum

efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load
size.

REMOVING STAINS
Stubborn stains may not be removed by
just water and detergent. It is therefore ad-
visable to treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water.
For dried stains, soak overnight in water
with a special detergent then rub in the
soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine
stain remover, lay the garment on a soft
cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpen-
tine, lay the garment on a soft surface and
dab the stain with the fingertips and a cot-
ton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a
rust removing product used cold. Be careful
with rust stains which are not recent since
tightly packed;
no more than one third full.
