What is the correct way to wash clothes?
Check care labels, separate whites and colours, empty pockets, close zippers, pretreat suitable stains, measure detergent according to its label, select the recommended cycle and dry items as directed.
Should I separate white and coloured clothes?
Yes. Separating whites, darks and colours helps reduce the chance of colour transfer. New or strongly coloured garments may need extra care according to their labels.
Why should I measure laundry detergent?
Measuring helps avoid using too little or too much detergent. Follow the product instructions and account for load size and soil level where the label provides guidance.
Can I wash every fabric in the same cycle?
No. Different fabrics may require different temperatures, spin speeds or cycles. The garment care label is the best starting point.
How can I help clothes smell fresh after washing?
Do not leave damp laundry sitting in the machine for long periods. Remove clothes promptly, dry them thoroughly and keep the washing machine clean according to its manual.
