Advice and tips before washing Here are some tips that may help you before washing. Sorting your laundry Sort items according to: • how soiled they are • colour • material Clothing 1. Do up zips and close Velcro straps so that they don’t harm fabrics. 2. New coloured items may contain excess dye and should therefore be washed separately the first few times. 3. Turn delicate items inside out. This reduces the risk of burling and fading. 4. Empty pockets and wash them inside out if possible.
Advice and tips before washing Wool Save time and energy These fabrics are labelled either machine wash or hand wash. The Wool program is at least as gentle as washing by hand. Use the Colour/White program to save time and energy. This program has a shorter main wash than Normal, but is often sufficient for lightly soiled washing. Wool is especially sensitive to processes such as washing. If you do not wish to spin dry, you can squeeze out the water using terry towels. In this case select No spin.
Advice and tips before washing Dyeing fabrics If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select the Colour/White program with the Super Rinse option. Select temperature according to the dye manufacturer’s recommendations. Choose a low spin speed if the fabric to be dyed is a blended material such as polyester/cotton. NOTE! Add the dye directly to the washing drum – not to the detergent compartment. After dyeing, you should run the machine empty using the same program. Use the normal amount of detergent.
Washing 1 Sort your laundry. NOTE! See the "Advice and Tips before washing" section. Detergent overdosing does not give better washing results; it merely causes a greater impact on the environment; can also hinder the wash performance. Place underwired bras in a laundry net.
