Helpful hints and tips
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label
and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the
laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
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.

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.
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and
detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior
to washing.
