Always follow the instruction “Wash separately”.
New coloured items often contain excess dye which could run
and stain other, lighter items in the wash. It is advisable to
wash these items separately the first time.
If possible, treat stains when they are still new. Use water, soap or
suitable detergents (stain remover spray, stick, paste, etc.).
