• Fabric type / care label symbol
Cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, silk,
viscose.

Wash new coloured articles separately.
• Article size
Washing articles of different sizes together
improves wash efficiency and distributes the

machine-washable wool curtains or
silk and other delicate fabrics. Either

bag or pillow case with zip.
