Sort out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each gar-
ment label and the manufacturer’s washing in-
structions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites,
coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Before Loading The Laundry
Important! Make
sure that no metal
objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins,
pins). Button up pil-
lowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and
poppers. Tie any
belts or long tapes.
Remove any hooks
(e.g curtains).
• 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 sep-
arately the first time.
• Rub particularly soiled areas with a special
detergent or detergent paste.
• Treat curtains with special care.
• Wash the socks and the gloves inside the
bag or a net.
Remove stubborn stains before washing:
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For
dried stains, soak overnight in water with a spe-
cial 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 dam-
aged 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 ace-
tone

, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab
the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then
treat stains with methylated spirits. Treat any re-
sidual marks 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.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the
fabric first with acetone

, then with acetic acid;
treat any residual marks on white fabrics with
bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, me-
thylated spirits or benzine, then rub with deter-
gent paste.

door handle outwards
Load the laundry
