Sustainable use
-
Choose products that have the Charter for Sustainable Cleaning logo on their label, this indicates that you are choosing a product that meets strict sustainability criteria.
-
Sort your laundry according to colour. Keep dark colours from light colours and separate wool and silk as these fibres need a special detergent.
-
Some products are specifically designed for hand-washing delicate or lightly soiled items. Do not use these products in your machine as you will get too much foam.
-
It is possible to use a machine-wash detergent for hand-washes if this is indicated on the pack. Follow dosing instructions carefully.
-
Wash coloured laundry inside out to minimise colour fading and wear-and-tear from the clothes rubbing against each other and the drum.
-
Read the instruction manual of your machine to see how many items can be washed in the delicates cycle. As a rule of thumb for special-care items, do not fill more than half and reduce the spin speed.
Detergents and maintenance products are safe when used and stored according to the instructions on the label.
