Helpful hints and tips

Sorting out the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each gar-
ment label and the manufacturer’s washing
instructions. Sort the laundry as follows:
whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates,
woollens.

Temperatures

95° or 90°

for normally soiled white cot-
tons and linen (e.g. tea cloths,
towels, tablecloths, sheets...)

60°/50°

for normally soiled, colour fast
garments (e.g. shirts, night
dresses, pyjamas....) in linen,
cotton or synthetic fibres and
for lightly soiled white cotton
(e.g. underwear)

40°-30°-
Cold

for delicate items (e.g. net cur-
tains), mixed laundry including
synthetic fibres and woollens
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).
