Dyed cotton
Laundry made of dyed cotton which is to be washed at 60 °C should be first washed at a temperature
of 60 °C to remove the excess dye. If this is not done, there is danger of dye being washed out of
such items. To maintain the colour of the fabric, use bleach-free detergent.
Unbleached linen
Unbleached lining fabric should be washed at 60 °C with a detergent free of bleach or optical bleaching
agents. Heavily soiled linen laundry may be occasionally washed at higher temperatures, but do not
do this too often as heat could ruin the sheen and strength of linen clothing.
Wool
These fabrics are intended for either machine or hand wash. The Wool Wash program is equally gentle
or even gentler than an actual hand wash.
Wool in particular is sensitive to washing and similar procedures.
Viscose and synthetic fibres
Materials made of viscose and some synthetic fibres are highly sensitive, and require a lot of space
in order not to crease.
INFORMATION!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.
