How do you sort the laundry?
Tip 1: sort by color
When you sort laundry, you should first make 3 piles based on color:
-
Colored laundry: laundry in various colors
-
White laundry
-
Dark laundry: dark and gray laundry.
Tip 2: sort by fabric type
-
Acrylic & wool: wool wash program at 30°C (wash inside out) or by hand.
-
Fleece: standard program at 40°C.
-
Cashmere: hand wash. Note: don't rub or wring.
-
Cotton: cotton program at a maximum of 40°C, towels at 60°C.
-
Linen: standard program at 40°C (colored linen) or 60°C (white linen).
-
Nylon: wrinkle repair program at 30°C.
-
Polyester: wrinkle repair program at 40°C.
-
Denim: jeans program at 30°C.
-
Tricot: Wash inside out at 30°C (wool) or 40°C (cotton).
-
Viscose: standard program at 40°C.
Tip 3: sort by temperature
Of course you also want your clothes to be hygienically clean. A high temperature makes sure that bacteria go away and your clothes smell fresh. If you wash different types of laundry in one go, always use the lowest prescribed temperature.
- 90°C: dish cloths that go with the drum cleaning.
- 60°C: bed linen, towels, tea towels, sport socks and underpants.
- 30 - 40°C: shirts, shirts, pants, sweaters, dresses and skirts.
You wash cold delicate laundry and clothing that is only lightly soiled. This ensures that you save energy and that your clothes stay beautiful longer.
