Advice and tips before washing

Here are some tips that may help you before
washing.

Sorting your laundry

Sort items according to:
• how soiled they are
• colour
• material

Clothing

1. Do up zips and close Velcro straps so that they
don't harm fabrics.
2. New coloured items may contain excess dye
and should therefore be washed separately
the first few times.
3. Turn delicate items inside out. This reduces
the risk of burling and fading.
4. Empty pockets and wash them inside out if
possible.

Laundry labels

Look at the item's laundry label. The table below
shows suitable wash programmes for different
materials and wash loads. Using modern washing
machines and detergents, for example compact
detergents, you can usually wash at lower
temperatures. It is a good idea to use trial and
error to find out what produces the best results.

Coloured cotton

Coloured cotton items with the washing instruction
60°C should be washed at 60°C for the first time
in order to remove any excess dye. If you do not
do so, there is a risk that the colour will run. Use
detergent without bleach in order to preserve the
colour of the fabric.

Unbleached linen

Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed at
60°C, using detergent containing no bleach or
optical whiteners. Heavily-soiled linen can
occasionally be washed at higher temperatures,
but not too often because the heat can destroy
the linen's shine and strength.

Wool

These fabrics are labelled either machine wash
or hand wash. The Wool/hand wash, 30°C
programme is at least as gentle as washing by
hand.

Rayon fibres and synthetic fibres

Materials made of rayon fibres, such as viscose,
and some synthetic fibres are very delicate and
require much space so as not to crease. Only half
fill the drum when washing and choose a spin
speed of 800 rpm or lower.
Note!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.

Detergents

Eco-labelled detergents are less harmful to the
environment.
Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results; it merely causes a greater impact
on the environment.
Try to use less detergent, and increase only if you
are not satisfied with the results.
