• Add liquid detergent to a white towel and the garment where you can’t notice well. Then, rub together strongly. Check if the color transferred to towel.
• Be careful for scarves and imported clothes since they are easily discoloring.
• Check for stains or partial dirt. If stains are found, use the towel wet with detergents to rub on in a single direction.
• Before washing, the sleeves, collar, dress hem and pockets are pre-treatedby brushing with detergents.

The wrinkle-processed clothes made of wool are specially treated by fixing them with threads before washing. The threads shall be removed after the clothes are dried.

Not Washable Laundry

• Even by soaking in water, neckties, brassieres, jackets, suits and coats can be easily transformed like shrinking and discoloring on the garment surfaces because they are mostly made of rayon, polynosic, cuff and their blend fabrics.
• The wrinkle-processed, embossed, or resin processed products are easy to transform even by soaking in water.
• Easily discoloring products made of cotton and wool, wrinkled silk, leather products, leather accessory, leather ornamented clothes and its accessory.
• Do not wash those clothes without handling guideline or material indication tag.

About Detergent

• When detergents are not dissolving well, use warm water (about 40°C) to dissolving the detergent.

Caution

• Use an appropriate amount.
• Even if excess amount of detergent is used, there is not much more difference in washing result. It may cause damage to the garments because rinsing is not enough.
• The bleaching agent may cause damages to garments since it is strong alkali.
• Do sufficient rinsing because the powder detergent is easily remained on the garments causing bad odors.
• If too much detergent is used or cold water is used, it doesn’t dissolve completely and remain on the garments, hose or inner tub, causing contamination on clothes.
• In case of reserved washing, detergents must be put in the detergent box. If the powder detergents are spread on laundry directly, it may cause discoloration.

CARING FOR CLOTHES BEFORE WASHING

• Must follow the checkpoints in order to avoid machine problem or damages on garments.
• If the below problems are caused by customer’s faults, separate service fee will be charged.

Take out personal belongings from pockets.
Caution. Check the pockets! Hairpins and coins may cause damages to clothes and washing machine. They may make noise and problems to the machine. Must check the pocket.

• If pants zippers are open while washing, the inner tub may be damaged. The zipper should be closed and fixed with a string before washing.

  • If blue jeans and working uniforms zippers or hooks are made of steel they must be closed before washing.
  • Wash winter jumpers, working uniforms, bed cover sheets, and blue jeans separately.
  • Fold clothes well into the inner tub. Must remove the curtain hooks before washing.
  • Turn inside out the button decorated and embroidered clothes before washing.
  • Be careful those metal decorations because they may cause heavy damages while washing.

• Waterproof clothes ( Ski Wear, Diaper Covers, Footboards) are not allowed for washing.

  • The waterproof sheet, clothes, and non water permeable fabrics shouldn’t be washed, rinsed, or put in the inner tub. The laundry may pop out and cause severe vibration so that a person may get damaged and the machine, wall, and floor may break out in addition to clothes. (Examples are diaper cover, waterproof wear, raincoat, umbrella cover, ski wears, car sheet, and sleeping bags.)

• Cautions During Spinning

  • Spinning of regular garments
  • The water from garments is drained out through the inner tub holes.
  • Spinning of waterproof clothes and fabrics
  • Even if the inner tub spins, water can’t drain out from the waterproof clothes and fabrics.
    Therefore, water gathers to one side and this causes a severe vibration. If the inner tub spins at a high speed, water still can’t drain out from the waterproof clothes and fabrics. As a result, garments move up and pop out with a big vibration.

• Shake the dirt or soils from clothes.

  • Soil and sands may rub delicate garments to cause damages and the washing result may be unsatisfactory.

• For protection of baby skin

  • Wash diapers and baby wears (baby clothes, baby towels, etc) separately. Dirt may get to baby’s clothes from adult’s clothes if washing them together.

  • If clothes have too much foreign matter, separate them for washing. Other clothes may pick up those dirty matters (diet, thread).
  • Wash black colored clothes and cotton towels separately. If they are washing together, towel may pick up dirtty matters. Check before washing.

• Cashmilon and those garments having big volume and lightweight(eg. lace-decorated clothes ligerie, nylon stocking, synthetic fabrics etc.) may rise and cause damages to the clothes and problems to the machine. Use the laundry net or wash them separately.™

  • Must put those long stringed clothes, lace-decorated clothes, bed cover sheet, wool clothes into a laundry net before washing.
  • Put delicate clothes in the laundry net.
  • Use only those commercial laundry net for washing

• Curtains, floating garments or blue jeans shall be pressed not to float on the water
