Damp laundry produces moult and unpleasant smells. Moult stains cannot be removed. Sort your laundry. Study carefully the chart in this booklet explaining the symbols used on clothes labels (see page 22). The following points are particularly important : a line under the bowl means that the garment cannot be washed using programmes for resistant fabrics such as cotton and linen; do not mix coloured garments with whites; anticrease materials like polyester/cotton should be treated as synthetics; non-resistant fabrics like acrylic and most curtain materials should be treated as delicate fabrics; the wool programme is designed specifically for pure new wool. Other types of wool and wool mixtures may shrink or felt if machine-washed. Woollen garments should be spun briefly immediately after washing. Delicate synthetics, synthetics with non-fast colours and woollen garments must never be washed above 40°C. As you already know, your washing machine can also wash with cold water. However, it must be remembered that the detergents currently on the market have not been designed for cold washes and that in winter, when the water is very cold, they may not dissolve adequately. We suggest the use of liquid detergents. How much laundry can be washed in one load?Strictly speaking you should always weigh your laundry. The drum will take a maximum of 5 kg of cotton and linen. For synthetics and delicate fabrics, the maximum load is 2, 5 kg and for wool, 1 kg. Resistant white and coloured synthetics can normally be washed at 60°C but also in this case 40°C is sufficient if the laundry is not excessively dirty. 20 Detergents and additives Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment.
