HINTS AND TIPS
THE LAUNDRY LOAD
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on the
laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items together.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first
wash. We recommend that you wash them
separately for the first times.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with
painted illustrations inside out.
