1. Notes on correct laundry care
21
Points to note regarding wash‐
ed laundry
– When washing very heavily soiled
items ensure that you use sufficient
detergent and select a high tempera‐
ture. If in doubt, wash the items sev‐
eral times.
– Do not put soaking wet items into the
tumble dryer. Make sure your laundry
is thoroughly spun before drying. The
higher the spin speed, the greater the
savings that can be made in energy
and time during drying.
– New dark coloured garments should
be washed and dried separately from
light coloured garments to avoid the
danger of colours running and disco‐
louring other garments or even plas‐
tic components in the dryer. Dark
coloured fibres can also settle on
light coloured garments and vice ver‐
sa.
– Starched laundry can be dried in the
tumble dryer. To achieve the usual
finish, double the amount of starch
should be used.
Preparing the laundry before
drying
Make sure that any objects, e.g.
detergent dosing balls, lighters etc.
have been removed from the laun‐
dry.
They could melt or explode and
cause damage to the dryer or the
laundry.
See "Warning and Safety" in‐
structions for further information.
Loading or using the tumble dryer in‐
correctly could cause a fire.
– Sort the laundry according to the
type of fibre and weave, size, gar‐
ment care label symbol and the dry‐
ing level required.
– Check the seams of padded or
down-filled items to prevent the risk
of fillings coming out. These could
catch fire when being dried.
– Disentangle the laundry.
– Tie together textile belts and ties.
– Fasten . . .
. . . duvet covers and pillow cases to
prevent small items from being trap‐
ped inside them.
. . . hooks and eyes.
– Sew in or remove underwiring from
bras.
– Leave jackets open and undo any
long zips so that textiles dry evenly.
– Minimum iron fabrics tend to crease
more, the greater the load. This is al‐
so the case for garments made from
very fine weave fabric, such as shirts
or blouses. If necessary, reduce the
size of the load for these types of
fabric.
