Washing hints

Sorting 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, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

95°

for normally soiled white cottons and

linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,

tablecloths, sheets...)

60°

for normally soiled, colour fast

garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses,

pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or

synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled

white cotton (e.g. underwear).

for delicate items (e.g. net curtains),

(cold)

mixed laundry including synthetic

30°-40°

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).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks

and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub

particularly soiled areas with a special detergent

or detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks

or tie them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the

programme charts.

General rules:

cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed

synthetics: drum no more than half full

delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more

than one third full

Washing a maximum load makes the most

efficient use of water and energy.

For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

bathrobe

napkin

quilt cover

sheet

pillow case

tablecloth

towelling towel

tea cloth

night dress

ladies' briefs

man's work shirt

man's shirt

man's pyjamas

blouse

men's underpants

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just

water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to

treat them prior to 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 garment on a soft surface and dab the

stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust

removing 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

(*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the

stain.
