10 Washing tips
10.2 Avoiding damage
▪ Follow the fabric care symbols on garment labels.
▪ The wash temperature selected should agree with the recommended temperature range of
the washing detergent to ensure the washing detergent is at its most effective.
▪ Wash white and coloured textiles separately.
▪ Empty pockets and turn inside out. Remove any foreign objects (coins, nails, paper clips,
etc.).
▪ Empty and brush out pockets of work overalls worn in the metal industry. Metal shavings
can damage the washing and cause rust stains.
▪ Fasten hook and eye fasteners and zips. These can damage the laundry and the drum.
▪ Fasten cloth belts, apron ties and duvet and pillow cases to avoid them getting tangled up.
▪ Wash smaller items (e.g. nylon tights, belts) and items with zips and hooks in a washing
net or cushion cover.
▪ Remove stains before washing using a suitable stain remover.
▪ Pre-treat heavily soiled areas (collars, cuffs, etc.) with soap, special detergent or paste.
▪ Textiles, such as dog or horse blankets, that are covered in animal hair should be brushed
out before washing.
