Main wash
Sorting the laundry
- It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and
detergent and not dry-clean items.
- If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.
- Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature: Always
follow the wash care advice on the garment label for the most suitable care and
treatment of the laundry
Laundry for hot wash
Coloured, easy-care materials
Delicates and wool
Wash by hand
Items labelled with the following symbol are not suitable for machine washing:
Dry clean
For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc., you are advised to
use a laundry net or wash bag.
- Woollen items must be labelled with the "Pure New Wool" symbol to be washed in the
machine , and must also be labelled "non-matting" or "machine washable".
- Colour often leaks from new coloured items.
This can then colour other lighter items being washed.
We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time
separately.
For future washes, colourfast items can only be washed with whites up to 40°C.
Note: when sorting laundry
- check there are no metal objects in the laundry
(such as paper clips, safety pins, pins, coins
etc...);
- button up pillowcases, fasten zips, hook & eye
fasteners, belts and long dressing gown cords;
- remove curtain hooks;
- pay close attention to the labels on items
- if you notice stubborn stains whilst sorting the
laundry, remove them using a special detergent or
a special stain remover.
- We recommend that you do not do a full load of towelling items only as these become too
heavy since they absorb a lot of water.
