Sorting and Loading
To get the best results from your wash, it is important to separate your laundry into batches of similar fabric colours and types, and not to under-load or overload the machine. See the sorting and loading tips for more information.
Sorting
- First, sort your washing by colour (into whites, light colours and dark colours)
- Then sort by fabric type (cotton and linen, synthetics and synthetic blends, delicates)
- Always check the care labels
- Wash each load with the correct amount of the right detergent
- Machine washable wool and silk should be washed in a specialist product that is specially formulated for fabrics
Loading
- Do not overload the machine. It can cause poor wash results, damage your clothes and even damage the machine
- For most fabrics, the bowl should be loosely filled. For machine-washable woollens, 2 or 3 items is a full load
