LAUNDRY GUIDELINES

Follow these simple guidelines for the cleanest laundry and the most efficient wash.
Always check the Care label on clothing before washing.
Sort and wash your laundry according to the following criteria:
• Care Label: Sort laundry into cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, silks, wools and rayons.
•
Colour: Divide whites and colours. Wash new colour items separately.
• Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the wash action.
•
Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash cycle for pure, new woollen
items, curtains and silk articles. Check the labels on the items you are washing or refer to the fabric
care chart in the appendix.
Emptying pockets
Before each wash, empty all the pockets of your laundry. Small, irregularly shaped hard objects,
such as coins, knives, pins, and paperclips could damage your washing machine. Do not wash
clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal objects. Metal on clothing may damage
your clothing as well as the tub. Turn clothing with buttons and embroidered clothes inside out before
washing them. If zips of pants and jackets are open while washing, the spin basket may be damaged.
Zips should be closed and fixed with a string before washing. Clothing with long strings may become
entangled with other clothes damaging them. Be sure to fix the strings before starting the wash.
Prewashing cotton
Your new washing machine, combined with modern detergents, will give perfect washing results,
thus saving energy, time, water and detergent. However, if your cotton is particularly dirty,
prewash with a protein-based detergent.
Determining the load capacity
Do not overload the washing machine or your laundry may not wash properly. Use the chart
below to determine the load capacity for the type of laundry you are washing.
