Sorting your washing
·':..•. '·.:'.::.:.. .7.'·* f.'. ::-: ·. '.' ' 1
Please refer to the table on the preceding page for sorting your washing and selecting
a suitable programme for the labels. Whenever you are washing a mixed load, use the
programme for the most delicate fabric. When washing new textiles, as a precaution, first
check that the textile does not run: see "Colour test" below.
Colour test
When being washed for the first time,
coloured textiles frequently run unless
guaranteed to be colourfast. Before
starting the machine, perform the
following test :
- Select an invisible part of the textile
- Dampen it with warm water
- Then press it against a white cloth
· If the textile does not run, you can
machine-wash it normally
· If the textile runs, machine-wash it
separately of by hand.
