Washing instructions in the washing machine

Always follow the instructions on the garment care labels.

Separate clothes according to the instructions on their labels

Calculate the dosage according to how dirty the clothes are and the hardness of the water.

Turn them inside out, undo the buttons and make sure they are already dry and dusted.

Do not overload the washing machine.

Some clothes that appear to have “shrunk” in the wash return to their original dimensions after ironing  

Don’t let the clothes get too dirty and then wash them

Hand washing instructions

Avoid mix & match. Separate clothes into white and dark and wash them in different basins. Go for a powder detergent because it brings out the white colour! For your dark ones, go for a suitable product for e.g. black clothes that won’t fade them. At the right temperature (30oc, i.e. lukewarm water is suitable for hand washing. Too hot water will just fade the clothes while colder water will not help them clean. Some clothes do need to be cleaned in completely cold water though, so check the labels on your clothes before you wash them. Do not soak them for more than 5 minutes. If you overdo the soaking, the clothes risk fading. Do not drain them by twisting them, this can even damage the garment. Just press them against the side of the basin to get rid of excess liquid. Finally, lay the garment out neatly inside a towel wrap and the water will be absorbed. Repeat until the garment is slightly damp. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Instructions for the use of bleach

Always make sure you have consulted the symbols marked on the labels.

Bleach destroys the fibres of clothes, which is why bleach is always preferable to bleach.

Use bleach only in cold water and no longer than an hour.

Finally, avoid washing with bleach in metal basins.

Instructions for ironing

Sort the clothes according to the instruction symbols on the label and start ironing at the lowest temperature

Iron the clothes a little damp.
