Drying |
|
To maintain
the garment's original look it's important to notice the symbol
that indicates whether it should be tumble dried or not. Never
tumble dry garments that cannot take tumble-drying! If you
choose to dry your garments in an airing cupboard you have
to make sure that the temperature does not exceed the one
given on the care label. Drying at room temperature is the
best thing for many garments. |

Sorting
Sort garments by color and given washing temperatures. Always wash similar
colors clothes together. Colored garments can release excess dye if
washed at a higher temperature.
Detergent
Do not use too much! Too much detergent does not give better results.
The excess may remain in the clothes and cause skin irritation. Measure
out the detergent according to the instructions on the packet. It’s
important to know whether the water in your area is hard (use more detergent)
or soft (use less detergent). Call your local water authority if you’re
not sure. Do not use detergent
with optical whitening or bleaching agents on colored garments, which
may cause the colors fade.
