Getting the Best Washing Results

In order to get the best cleaning results for your laundry, follow these few simple tips:
Sort Washing Carefully
- Ideally you should separate your laundry into three groups by colour: whites, light colours, and dark colours, so that whites stay white, and dark dyes from black and navy garments don't turn paler colours dingy. If you don't have enough for three loads, at least keep whites separate - it's worth doing a half load.
- It pays to wash items of certain fabric types together. For example, synthetics need a cool rinse and short spin, whereas heavy cotton items like towels, can take a hotter wash and longer spin.
Loading the Machine
- Empty pockets and remove badges, brooches, or any loose buttons before you wash. Small loose items can lodge in the machine and cause considerable and expensive damage.
- Don't be tempted to overload the drum. Performance will be reduced and your machine will suffer greater wear and tear. The motor might even burn out if you overdo it too often.
If your washing machine consistently produces poor results, pour a little bleach into the detergent compartment, then let the machine run empty through a complete warm wash cycle. The bleach will remove any clogged soap scum in the machine and should improve washing and rinsing.
