Tips for best results
Before washing

• Empty all pockets.
• Remove metal parts.
• Close any zips and fasten hooks etc before washing.
• Do not wash anything in the machine that is specified as non-machine washable on the wash care label.

While sorting

• Separate polyester fabrics from cotton fabrics.
• Try to have a mix of large and small clothes in each wash load.
• Dark clothes should be washed separately and not with whites.

While loading

• Load large items first, preferably half the total wash load.
• Do not wash single items—add one or two similar items.
• Place small items such as infants’ socks, nylon stockings, handkerchiefs etc in a laundry bag, pillow case, or something similar, as they may get caught around the door. This will also prevent your laundry from getting lost.

Water softening

• Use water softening agents or adjust detergent dosage as recommended by the detergent manufacturer in case of hard water.

Easy tips to remove stains

• Ensure you use WARM water for soaking or pre washing stained laundry.
• Fresh stains are easier to remove.
• Knowing what kind of stain it is, how old it is, what kind of fabric it is and whether the fabric is colour-fast (check the care label) always helps treat a stain better.
• Always start with COLD or WARM water as HOT water can set in stains. Washing and drying can sometimes set in stains.
• When bleach is recommended, always use a fabric safe one.
• Put the stained area face down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to the back of the stain. This forces the stain off the fabric instead of through it.
