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.

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...
