Sort out 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, deli-
cates, woollens.
Before Loading The Laundry
Important! 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. Re-
move any hooks (e.g cur-
tains).
• 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.
• Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent
or detergent paste.
• Treat curtains with special care.
• Wash the socks and the gloves inside the bag or a net.
Remove stubborn stains before 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 gar-
ment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the finger-
tips and a cotton cloth.
Rust : oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust remov-
ing 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
1)
, lay the
garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick : moisten with acetone as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Treat any residual marks
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
1)
, then with acetic acid; treat any resid-
ual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse
thoroughly.
Tar stains : first treat with stain remover, methylated spi-
rits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
