28Preparing the wash cycle
Preparing the wash cycle
Sorting out 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
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...

29Preparing the wash cycle
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the washing 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:

30Preparing the wash cycle
Rust:oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing product used cold. Be

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.
Lipstick:...
