8.3 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).
For normally soiled white
cottons and linen
(e.g. teacloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...).
For normally soiled,
colourfast garments (e.g.
shirts, night dresses,
pyjamas....) in linen, cotton
or synthetic fibres and for
lightly soiled white cotton
(e.g.underwear).
For delicate items (e.g. net
curtains), mixed laundry
including synthetic fibres
and woollens bearing the
label pure new wool,
machine washable,
non-shrink.
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 a net.
8.4 Maximum Loads
