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.

• 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.

Temperatures

60°-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).

(cold)

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

30°-40°

mixed laundry including synthetic

fibres and woollens bearing the label

«pure new wool, machine washable,

non-shrink».

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.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat

stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual

marks from white fabrics with bleach.

Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and

treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any

residual marks with bleach.
