 Cleaning tips for laundry and for the environment.

Sorting and pretreatment of laundry

Sorting the laundry

Type of fabric: Washable fiber sheets can not only be washed without problems together with more robust fabrics, such as towels, but must also be washed with them. This will prevent knots from forming in the sheets.

Washing temperature: you can wash fiber washable sheets up to 95 ° C. For the rest of the laundry, it is best to orient yourself through the care symbols that you can find on the garment labels. They indicate at what temperature the fabrics can be washed.

Tip: the lower the washing temperature, the lower the current consumption: do not wash at an excessive temperature! Laundry washed in hot water at 95 ° C remains just as clean at 60 ° C and you save approx. 50% energy.

Degree of soiling: do not wash slightly soiled garments together with heavily soiled fabrics.

Color intensity (only for colored fabrics): Treat our fiber washable sheets like colored clothes, i.e. wash them with similar colors whenever possible. For the rest of the laundry, follow the directions on the labels.

Pretreatment of laundry

For non-stained colored laundry, set the washing program "Colored laundry 40 ° C" instead of "Colored laundry 60 ° C". This will save energy.

Heavily soiled fabrics should be washed immediately. Fresh stains can be removed more easily than those that have already dried.

Stains can be pre-treated with a conventional stain remover or bile soap. Pretreatment of stains allows washing at a lower temperature.

Load the washing machine

Properly loading the washer can save costs and energy. If the washing machine is loaded too much, the laundry cannot rotate properly in the drum and therefore does not clean well either. If you put too little in the washing machine, it will consume energy unnecessarily.

The "rule of the hand" in normal washing processes: a raised open hand should always fit in the drum above the laundry.

Also take into account the recommendations of the manufacturer of your washing machine for the different wash programs.

Detergent dosage

So what is the ideal amount? This depends on the degree of contamination of the laundry, the load in the washing machine and the hardness of the water.

The right amount of detergent also gives you the right cleaning. Using too much detergent does not improve the washing result and affects the environment much more. At the same time, it should not be used too little either, since stubborn stains do not come out this way. You can find the exact dosing instructions on each detergent package.

The correct amount of detergent depends on the local water hardness and how dirty the laundry is, and can be easily consulted on the dosage table on the detergent packets.

You can check the water hardness directly from your water supply company. You will find the corresponding contact information on the invoices or on the Internet.
If you have a washing machine with a capacity of more than 5 kg, you will find special information on the detergent packages for additional dosing in large washing machines.

Selecting the washing program

Prewash: prewash is only necessary for heavily soiled items.

Main wash process : select the wash process and wash temperature depending on the type of fabric and the degree of soiling.

Spin: the different wash programs control spinning automatically.

After lava

After the wash is finished, take the clothes out of the washing machine as quickly as possible and dry them. This prevents the unpleasant smell of wet clothes that forms. Plus, washable fiber sheets won't crease unnecessarily.

Air dry

Our advice! It is best to lay out washable fiber sheets immediately after washing. This will prevent unnecessary moisture spots and wrinkles. Tender not only saves energy, but damp fiber washable sheets also smooth out during drying.

Tumble Dry

Washable fiber sheets are tumble dry . Due to their quality, however, these should only be put in the cold dryer briefly, at the "gentle care" level.
