Washing Hints

i

Sorting 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.

Temperatures

95°

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

60°

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).

(cold)

30°-40°

for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), 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 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.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:
Bathrobe 1200 g
Napkin 100 g
Quilt cover 700 g
Sheet 500 g
Pillow case 200 g
Tablecloth 250 g
Towelling towel 200 g
Tea cloth 100 g
Night dress 200 g
Ladies’ briefs 100 g
Man’s work shirt 600 g
Man’s shirt 200 g
Man’s pyjamas 500 g
Blouse 100 g
Men’s underpants 100 g

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 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
removing 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.

ENGLISH

11

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.

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric
first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any
residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated
spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of
detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid
waste and protect the environment. Although
biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in
large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of
fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour,
washing temperature and degree of soiling.

All commonly available washing machine detergents
may be used in this appliance:

– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max)

and woollens,

– liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature

wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric,
or special for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the
appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer
before starting the wash programme.

If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a
programme without prewash must be selected.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer
compartment marked just before starting the
programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be
poured into the compartment marked before starting
the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on
quantities to use.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the
type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness
of the water used.

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of
hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your
area can be obtained from the relevant water supply
company, or from your local authority.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on
quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load
– the laundry is lightly soiled
– large amounts of foam form during washing.
