Advice and tips before washing
Here are some tips that may help you before
washing.
Sorting your laundry
Sorting your laundry
• how soiled they are
• color
• material
Clothing
1. Close zippers and Velcro straps so they won’t
damage fabrics.
2. New colored items may contain excess dye
and should therefore be washed separately
the rst 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 programs for dierent
materials and wash loads.Using modern washing
machines and detergents, such as compact
detergents, you can usually wash at lower
temperatures. It is a good idea to use trial and
error to nd out what produces the best results.
