Tips and tricks

These tips prevent mishaps like shrinking your favourite top or turning whites pink:

  • Check symbols: All items have washing symbols that guide proper care. For instance, delicate fabrics might require low-temperature washing to preserve quality.
  • Choose detergent wisely: Opt for suitable detergent, available at budget-friendly stores like Aldi or Lidl. For sensitive skin, pick Non-Bio over Bio.
  • Separate whites and colours: Keep whites bright by washing them separately. New coloured clothes should be washed alone initially to prevent colour bleeding.
  • Use 30º if unsure: A 30º wash is eco-friendly and safe for items with unclear washing instructions. Tough stains may require higher temperatures.
  • Empty pockets: Avoid damaging valuables and clothes by thoroughly checking and emptying pockets before washing.
  • Proper drying matters: After washing perfectly, drying is crucial. Hang clothes outside or use a dryer, adjusting the cycle based on item weight.

Remember, careful handling ensures lasting quality.
