TIPS BEFORE WASHING This chapter includes several tips on how to prepare the laundry for washing. LAUNDRY SYMBOLS Observe the laundry symbols. Textile maintenance symbols: LAUNDRY SORTING Sort the laundry according to: • how soiled it is, • colour, • material. Washing Normal CLOTHING 1. Close the zips and hook-and-loop fasteners so that they do not damage the fabric. 2. New dyed items may contain excess dye; therefore, they have to be washed separately several times. 3. Turn delicate items inside out.
DYED COTTON ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY Laundry made of dyed cotton which is to be washed at 60 °C should be first washed at a temperature of 60 °C to remove the excess dye. If this is not done, there is danger of dye being washed out of such items. To maintain the colour of the fabric, use bleach-free detergent. You can save a lot of energy by not using the programs operating at higher temperatures. Choose the Quick program if you wish to only refresh the laundry; or use the Time program.
WASHING PROCESS, STEP BY STEP (1 – 8) STEP 1: SORT THE LAUNDRY See chapter "TIPS BEFORE WASHING" Use a washing net for underwire bras. Empty the pockets.
