95
for dirty white cottons and linen(e.g. tea
cloths,towels,tablecloths,sheets)

60
g. shirts,night dresses,pyjamas....) in linen,
cotton or synthetic fibres and for ligntly
soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).
cold for delicate items (e.g. net curtains),
mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and
30 -40
woolens.

Checking Laundry

Important! Make sure that no metal objects are left in
the laundry (e. g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
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 .
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and
poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub par-
ticularly soiled areas with a special detergent or deter-
gent paste.
Treat curtain with special care, remove hooks or tie
them up in a bag net.

Maximum loads

Recommended load are indicated in the programme
charts.
General rules:
Cotton ,linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half full ;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than
one third full .
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient
use of water and energy .
For heavily soiled laundry , reduce the load size.

Removing stain before washing
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and
detergent. It is therefore advisable 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 turpentine, lay the
garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the
fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust re-
moving product used cold. Be careful with rust stains
which are not recent since the cellulose structure will
already have been damaged and the fabric tends to
hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and
fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and
fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone ( ),
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone( ) as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual
marks from white fabrics with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat
with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual
marks with bleach.
