washing hints electrolux 15
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.
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.
Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any
belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before
washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a
special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care.
Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag
or net.
Recommended loads are indicated in
the programme charts.General rules:
Washing a maximum load makes the
most efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the
load size.
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.
Make sure that no metal objects
are left in the laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins, pins).
