- Empty pockets (key, coins, etc) and remove the harder decorative objects (e.g. brooches).
- Securing fasteners
Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.
- Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a washing bag.
- Washing a single big and heavy item such as bath towel, jeans,
wadded jacket etc. may unbalance the laundry in the drum.
Therefore it is suggested to add one or two more clothes to be
washed together so that draining can be done smoothly.
- Baby articles (baby clothes, towels and napkins) shall be washed separately.
If they are washed together with the adults' clothes, they may be infected. Rinsing times shall
be increased to ensure the thorough rinsing and cleaning with no detergent residues left.
- It is suggested that the items that are easily stained such as white socks, collars and sleeves
etc. shall be hand washed before being put into washing machine to achieve more ideal
washing effects.
- The clothes which easily get fuzzed shall be washed separately; otherwise the other articles
can be stained with dust and lint particles, etc. Preferably, black clothes and cotton clothes
shall be washed separately.
- Do not wash waterproof materials (ski suits, outside napkin pads, raincoats, umbrella,
car covers, sleeping bags, etc).
It is better not to wash fabrics that cannot get soaked easily (such as waterproof cushions and
clothes) in the washing machine. Otherwise there will be water bursting out or abnormal
vibration to cause danger during rinsing and draining so that the clothes may be damaged.
- Detergent tips
The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate
items, wool), colour, washing temperature, degree and type of soiling. Please use "low suds"
laundry detergent.
NOTE: Do not add more detergent than needed. Please follow the usage recommendation
on the detergent package.
Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations based upon the weight of the laundry,
the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your area. If you do not know how hard
your water is, ask your water authority.
NOTE: Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.
