How to wash almost anything
Curtains.
Curtains tend to crease a great
deal. Here is a tip to reduce creas-
ing: fold the curtains and place
them in a pillow case or mesh
bag. Do not load anything else,
so that the overall weight does
not exceed the half load. Remem-
Trainers.
Once you have removed mud and
dirt from trainers, you can wash
them with jeans and other tough
garments. Do not wash trainers
with whites.
Quilted coats and wind-
cheaters.
You can wash quilted coats and
wind-cheaters, too, if they are
padded with goose or duck down.
The important thing is not to run
a 5 kg load.
ber to use the specific programme
10 which automatically excludes
the spin cycle.
Useful tips to avoid mistakes
Never use your washing ma-
chine to wash... torn, fraying or
non-hemmed linen. If it is abso-
lutely necessary, place it in a bag
for protection. Brightly coloured
linen with whites.
Persistent or special stains
Treat these before washing by
rubbing the toughest stains with
a special detergent, with deter-
gent paste or specific stain re-
movers (see the inset on treating
special stains with stain remov-
ers on page 9).
Watch the weight!
For best results, do not exceed
the weight limits stated below
(figures show weight when dry):
- Sturdy fabrics:
maximum 5 kg
- Synthetic fabrics:
maximum 2.3 kg
- Delicate fabrics:
maximum 2 kg
- Pure virgin wool:
maximum 1 kg
- Towelling:
maximum 2.3 kg
How much does it weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 gr.
1 pillowcase 150-200 gr.
1 tablecloth 400-500 gr.
1 bathrobe 900-1,200 gr.
1 towel 150-250 gr.
Salopette alert.
Very popular "salopette" type over-
alls have straps with hooks that can
damage the drum of your washing
machine or other garments during
the wash. By placing the hooks in
the bib pocket and fastening them
with safety pins, all risks are
avoided.
Holidays: unplug the appli-
ance.
When you go on holiday, we rec-
ommend that you unplug your
washing machine, turn off the
water inlet tap and leave the door
open or ajar. This way, both the
drum and the gasket will remain
nice and dry and unpleasant
odours will not develop inside the
washing machine.
Coloured T-shirts, printed
ones and shirts last longer if
turned inside out before washing.
Printed T-shirts and sweatshirts
should always be ironed inside
out.
Cashmere Gold: As gentle as a hand wash
The first washing machine to have "The Woolmark Company" recognition.
The Cashmere Gold programme
was designed to machine wash
the most delicate and precious
woollen and Cashmere gar-
ments.
The Merloni Elettrodomestici
"Wool-Cashmere" programme has
been approved by The Woolmark
Company for washing woollen
garments labelled "hand wash
only" featuring The Woolmark
Company Brands. This is the first
delicate hand wash cycle offered
by a washing machine approved
by The Woolmark Company.
(M.0206).
This result has been achieved
thanks to the speed of the drum
(90 rpm), even during the rinse
phase, which prevents the fibres
from rubbing.
Always use programme 9 (wool)
with all garments labelled hand
wash: the tub with a hand in it.
it is advisable to use specific de-
tergents for woollen garments.
For best results, use
a specific detergent,
taking care not to
exceed a load of 1kg.
