Preparing the laundry Behind good wash results lies proper use of the washing machine, a good detergent, the right choice of wash programme. . . In this case, since experience may not be enough. . . treat it gently!An ideal load includes garments of the same fabric type and degree of soiling, but of varying sizes. For very delicate garments, deselect the spin cycle before starting the wash. Ensure the fabric of bras containing wire support is in good condition. Should the wire become detached it could damage your machine. Tie any straps and belts or, better still, put them into a cotton bag or pillowslip together with other small items (handkerchiefs etc. ). [. . . ] Take care not to catch the tip of the iron in button holes. Button the shirt and iron the front again, then fold and give a final press. Follow the same procedure for blouses, but hang them on clothes hangers instead of folding. Pleated skirts: flatten down the pleats and iron them on the reverse side, turning the skirt around over the end of the board. [. . . ]
