ABC washing guide
Unsure about what the best way is to wash your garment? Try these handy tips for some of those
tricky washing challenges:
A
Allergy If you or someone in your household has allergies we would suggest using the
ALLERGY cycle to wash bedding and clothing to remove dust mites and their
wastes as well as any residual detergent. Choose LIFECYCLES, FAMILY, then
ALLERGY. This cycle is unsuitable for non-colourfast or heat sensitive items.
B
Beach Gear These items can be very grassy and sandy so we have designed a specific cycle for
them. Give them a good shake to remove excess sand and grass, before placing
them into the machine. Choose LIFESTYLES, SPORTS, then BEACH GEAR.
Brassiere Do up the hooks and eyes and place in a Delicates bag. Wash using a Delicate
Conventional cycle or Delicate High Efficiency mode if you want to save water.
Choose DELICATE or HANDWASH.
Blankets These can be difficult to wash as they become very heavy and cause the machine
to become unbalanced. If you are washing just one blanket add a large beach
towel or throw to help keep the load balanced during spin. Your AquaSmart™ has
a Blanket cycle. Remember to use a wool detergent if it is a woollen blanket and
check to make sure that it is machine washable. Choose BULKY, then BLANKET.
Bulky Items For bulky items, eg. ski jackets, sleeping bags. Ensure there is enough free space in
the machine to allow the item to move when being washed. Bulky items can float
during the wash. Choose BULKY and then the appropriate option, eg. JACKET.
Business
Shirts
Use at least a warm/cold wash temperature to ensure perspiration is removed. We
suggest selecting the EASY IRON cycle to minimise creasing. Choose EASY IRON.
C
Curtains We do not recommend you wash curtains in your washer as the sun makes curtains
very brittle, so when they are washed they disintegrate.
Creasables Items that crease easily can be washed on the Easy Iron cycle. Choose EASY IRON.
Colours Coloured items can transfer colour to other garments, so should be washed
separately. They can also lose dye if washed in water that is too hot. The COLOURS
cycle has been designed to care for coloured garments and help to maintain their
original colour. Choose COLOURS.
