Preparing a Wash Load
Sorting and preparing a wash load
• Sort the washing according to care symbol (see “Washing Types and
Care Symbols”).
• Empty all pockets.
• Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
• In order to prevent the washing tangling and being damaged: close
zippers, button up duvet covers and pillow cases, and tie up loose
straps such as from aprons.
• Turn articles with double layered fabric inside out (sleeping bags,
anoraks etc.).
• In the case of knitted coloured fabrics and also wool and fabrics with
jewellery attached: turn inside out.
• Place small and delicate articles (baby booties, stockings, bras etc.)
into a washing net, a pillow case with zipper, or in large socks before
washing.
• Handle curtains with particular care. Metal fittings or burred, plastic
fittings must be removed or tied into a net or bag. We cannot accept
liability for damage.
• Do not wash coloured and white washing together. This could trans-
fer colour to white washing or turn it grey.
• New coloured items often have an excess of colour. It is better to
wash such items separately the first time.
• Mix small and large items of washing. This improves the wash effi-
ciency and the washing is more evenly distributed during the spin cy-
cle.
• Shake out washing before placing into the washing machine.
• Do not place folded washing into the drum.
• Observe such washing instructions as “wash separately” and “wash
separately several times”!
