Helpful hints and tips

Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment
label and the manufacturer's washing instruc-
tions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, col-
oureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
for normally soiled white cottons
95° or 90° and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...)
for normally soiled, colour fast
garments (e.g. shirts, night dres-
ses, pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or
60°/50°
synthetic fibres and for lightly
soiled white cotton (e.g. under-
wear)
for delicate items (e.g. net cur-
tains), mixed laundry including
40°-30°- Cold synthetic fibres and woollens
bearing the label «pure new wool,
machine washable, non-shrink»
Before loading the laundry
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.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in
the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins,
pins).

mildew and unpleasant smells.
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,
hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Detergents and additives

quantities to avoid waste and protect the envi-
ronment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain
substances which, in large quantities, can upset
the delicate balance of nature.
