Preparing the wash cycle

Preparing your garments for washing

o Your washing should be sorted out, according to the fabric type
and the wash care symbol that is printed on the garment's wash
care label. (see separate section on wash care symbols).
o Check all pockets on a garment to make sure that they are
empty.
o Remove any detachable metal items (badges, paperclips, safety
pins etc).
o Zips should be closed, duvet covers and pillow cases should be
buttoned up and any loose straps should be tied up. This will
help to prevent other garments from getting damaged during the
wash.
o Woollens and knitted coloured fabrics should be turned inside out
before being washed in the appliance.
o Small delicate items (tights, baby socks) should be placed in
either a washing net or a zipped pillow case.
o Curtains should be handled with particular care. All plastic hooks
or metal strips must be removed before being washed in the
appliance.
o Coloured items and whites should be washed in separate wash
cycles.
o New garments often contain an excess of dye, therefore it is
advisable to wash them separately for their first wash.
o Garments should be unfolded and shook out before being placed
inside the machine.
