Guide: How to wash your laundry properly

Preparation:

1. Sort laundry: Separate laundry by color (white, light, dark) and material (delicate fabrics, cotton, synthetics). Pay attention to the care labels on the clothes.
2. Turn laundry items inside out: This will protect colors and fibers.
3. Empty pockets: Remove all items from pockets to protect the washing machine and clothes.
4. Pre-treat stains: Fresh stains should be treated immediately with a suitable stain remover.
5. Dosing detergent: Use the right amount of detergent for the amount of laundry and the level of dirt. Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.
6. Choose the right washing program: Choose the right washing program for the type of laundry and the washing temperature. Follow the care labels on the clothing.

Washing process:

1. Putting laundry in the machine: Place the laundry loosely in the drum. Do not overload the machine as this may affect washing performance.
2. Add detergent and fabric softener: Add the detergent and fabric softener (if desired) to the designated compartments of the washing machine.
3. Switch on the washing machine: Select the desired washing program and washing temperature. Start the washing process.

After washing:

1. Removing laundry: Remove the laundry from the machine immediately after the wash program has finished.
2. Hang laundry or put it in the dryer:
   • Dryer:
     • Put the laundry in the dryer and select a suitable program.
     • Remove the laundry from the dryer as soon as it is dry.
   • Clothes line:
     • Hang the laundry on a clothesline or clothes rack.
     • Do not wring the laundry too hard as this may damage the clothes.
3. Folding or ironing laundry:
   • Folding: Fold the laundry after drying.
   • Ironing: Iron the laundry as needed.

Tips:

• Sort laundry correctly: This will protect the colors and fibers of your clothes.
• Choose the right washing temperature: A temperature that is too high can damage the clothes. A temperature that is too low may not clean the clothes properly.
• Use the right detergent: Use a detergent that is suitable for the type of laundry.
• Do not overload the washing machine: This can affect washing performance and cause the laundry to wrinkle.
• Take laundry out of the machine in good time: This will prevent mildew and unpleasant odors.

• Care for laundry properly: Iron laundry as needed and store it in a dry and airy place.

With these tips you can wash your laundry properly and enjoy it for a long time.
