Types of Washing and Care Symbols
Care symbols help you to choose the correct wash programme.
Washing should be sorted by type, and according to their care symbols.
The temperature indicated on the care symbol is the maximum wash
temperature.
Washing that can be boiled
Cotton and linen textiles marked with this maintenance symbol are not
delicate. They will resist high temperatures and mechanical forces. The
WHITE program is appropriated for this washing type.
Coloured washing
Cotton and linen textiles marked with this maintenance symbol are not
delicate. They will resist high mechanical forces. The COLOUREDS program
is appropriated for this type of washing.
Easy to maintain washing
Textiles such as finished cotton, blended cotton based materials and
synthetic materials marked with this symbol require more gentle mechanical
treatment. The TEXTILE BLENDS program is appropriated for this type of
washing.

marked with this maintenance symbol require particularly gentle treatment.
The DELICATE program is appropriated for this type of washing.
Wool and particularly delicate washing
Textiles such as woolens, wool blends or silk marked with this label are
particularly sensitive to mechanical forces. The WOOLENS program is

if the comment “non-fluffing” or “fluff resistant”, and “machine washable”
is added.
