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).

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 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 stains

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 turpen-

tine, lay the garment on a soft surface and
