Washing advice

  • Doing the laundry: where do I start?

    Empty the pockets, close zips and turn clothes inside out before putting them in the machine.
  • How do I avoid overloading my washing machine?

    Never overfill your washing machine. Wet laundry weighs more. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Can you wash different colors together?

    Garments washed together should “match” in color.
  • How do you stop colors from running?

    Don't leave colored items to soak.
  • How do you best hand-wash?

    When hand-washing, add the detergent to the water first and only put the item in after mixing well.
  • How do you keep ironing to a minimum?

    Smooth out the washed items with the flat of your hand and reshape them. That keeps ironing to a minimum.
  • Why is it good to wash at lower temperatures?

    Don't wash any hotter than needed to get your clothes clean, and never hotter than the care label says.
  • What causes clothes to wear out?

    The higher the temperature, the more your clothes wear out.

  • What does water softener in detergent do?

    Hard water and the limescale in it can fool your washing machine. A fully scaled-up thermostat notices far too late that the water is already above 30°.
  • When can you machine-wash wool with wool detergent?

    Hard water and the limescale in it can fool your washing machine. A fully scaled-up thermostat notices far too late that the water is already above 30°.
  • When can you machine-wash wool with wool detergent?

    Always hand-wash. Only if the Woolmark label says “machine washable”, wash with wool detergent on a wool program, without fabric softener. Watch out, not all machines have that program.

  • How does bleach in detergent work?

    Many detergents contain bleach. This makes colors fade or run.
  • Why different types of detergent?

    Always use the right products for the right items. A detergent for whites isn't meant for washing colored items. They'll be clean, but they'll have lost their color.

  • Can detergent cause stains?

    The wrong detergent can cause shrinking, discolouration and white streaks.
  • Which clothes need a mild detergent?

    A mild detergent is suitable for wool and delicate lingerie.
  • Why is it better not to use fabric softener?

    Fabric softener isn't recommended for clothes: it causes faster wear and pilling. If you still want to use one, always pick the same brand as your detergent to avoid conflicting reactions.
  • How can I avoid white limescale deposits when washing my clothes?

    Regularly add an anti-limescale product to your detergent to prevent white limescale deposits.
