Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws etc). When washing curtains, remove the hooks. Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.

White items should not be washed with coloured items. Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc) should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.
