[. . . ] Sorting and preparing your washing · Sort the washing by type and care symbol (see chapter 5. 4: International symbols for care of textiles): normal wash for strong washing that can resist energetic wash and spin; delicate wash for delicate washing that should be treated more carefully. For mixed loads composed of articles of different types of fibers, choose a program and temperature suitable for the most fragile fiber. · Wash white washing and color washing separately. Otherwise, the white washing may be colored or look gray. · New clothes very often have too much color. Preferably wash new clothes separately for the first time. Respect "wash separately" and "wash several times separately" care instructions. · Empty pockets and spread out the washing. · Take off all loose buttons, pins and hooks and eyes. Close zip fasteners, tie knots in laces and straps. · Turn clothes made of several layers of textiles (sleeping bags, anoraks, etc. ), colored hosiery and wool and textiles with add-on decorations, inside out. · Wash small delicate items (socks, tights, bras, etc) in a washing net. · Treat curtains with special care. Remove curtain hooks and put net curtains in a net bag or a sachet. 5. 2. Washing load depending on the nature of the material The quantity of washing that you put in your drum must not exceed the maximum capacity of your washing machine. This capacity may vary depending on the nature of your textiles. Reduce the quantity of washing if it is very dirty or if you have terry cloth type materials. Not all textiles have the same volume and the same water retention capacity. This is why in general the drum should be filled: · completely, but without excessive pressure for cotton and linen, and for mixed washe, · half full for treated cottons and synthetic fibers, 12 User's instructions · about one third full for very delicate articles such as net curtains and wool. For a mixed wash, fill the drum as required for the most delicate material. 5. 3.
