Washing and Drying Hints

Sorting the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label

and the manufacturer’s washing instructions.

Sort the laundry as follows:

whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

95°

for normally soiled white cottons and linen

(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths,

sheets...)

60°

for normally soiled, colour fast garments

(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in

linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for

lightly soiled white cotton (e.g.

underwear).

(cold)

30°-40°

for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed

laundry including synthetic fibres and

woollens bearing the label «pure new

wool, machine washable, non-shrink»

Before loading the laundry

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 separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the

laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and

poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub

particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or

detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie

them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the programme

charts.

General rules:

cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed

synthetics: drum no more than half full

delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one

third full.

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use

of water and energy.

For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

bathrobe 1200 g

napkin 100 g

quilt cover 700 g

sheet 500 g

pillow case 200 g

tablecloth 250 g

towelling towel 200 g

tea cloth 100 g

night dress 200 g

ladies’ briefs 100 g

man’s work shirt 600 g

man’s shirt 200 g

man’s pyjamas 500 g

blouse 100 g

men’s underpants 100 g

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and

detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to

washing.

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried

stains, soak overnight in water with a special 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 damaged 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 acetone (*), lay

the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
