10 Washing tips
10.1 Fabric care symbols
To wash items correctly, please follow the fabric care symbols on the labels of
the wash items.
10.2 Washing detergent
The wash temperature selected should agree with the recommended tempera-
ture range of the washing detergent to ensure the washing detergent is at its
most effective.
10.3 General tips
• 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 duvet covers and pillow cases; close zips and hook and eye
fasteners; fasten cloth belts and apron ties.
• 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 deter-
gent or paste.
• For medium or heavily soiled washing, select the additional pre-wash
programme or select a heavier degree of soiling.
• Wash woollens and other textiles with the fabric care label using the
main hand wash programme only. Use detergent suitable for woollens
and delicates.
• Textiles, such as dog or horse blankets, that are covered in animal hair
should be brushed out before washing
