+
+This article is about laundry and all the steps involved in cleaning them.
+
+## Process of Washing and Drying Clothes
+
+This section explains the basic process of washing and drying clothes while preserving their quality
+and avoiding common mistakes.
+
+## Sort Laundry
+
+Separate laundry before washing according to color and material.
+One category should – in the following steps – not be washed with another.
+
+- Light colors: e.g. beige, pastel colors, light blue
+- White clothes
+- Dark colors: e.g. black, dark blue, gray, dark green
+- Bright colors: e.g. red
+- Towels and underwear
+- Sportswear made from functional fabrics
+- Cleaning cloths
+
+## Check the Care Label
+
+Before washing, check the care label inside the garment.
+
+Pay particular attention to the following information:
+
+- Maximum washing temperature (e.g. 30 °C or 40 °C)
+- Whether tumble drying is allowed
+- Whether a delicate wash cycle is required
+
+## Load the Washing Machine
+
+Do not overload the washing machine.
+There should still be enough space to fit one hand comfortably above the laundry inside the drum.
+
+For better results turn jeans, T-shirts, sweatshirts and jerseys inside out to protect colors and
+prints and close all zippers and buttons before washing.
+
+## Select the Washing Program
+
+The following programs are recommended for common types of laundry.
+
+| Clothing | Program | Temperature | Spin Speed |
+| --------- | ------- | ----------- | ---------- |
+| Cleaning cloths | Cotton | 90 °C | Maximum |
+| Towels and underwear | Eco / Cotton | 40–60 °C | Maximum |
+| T-shirts | Easy Care | 30 °C | 600–800 rpm |
+| Sweatshirts | Easy Care | 30 °C | 600–800 rpm |
+| Jeans | Easy Care | 30 °C | 600 rpm |
+| Sports jerseys and sports trousers | Outdoor | 30 °C | 600 rpm |
+| Fencing clothing | Outdoor | 30 °C | 400 rpm |
+
+## Add Detergent
+
+Use the appropriate detergent for the type of laundry.
+
+- Heavy-duty detergent for cleaning cloths
+- Sports detergent for sportswear
+- Delicate detergent for all other clothes washed at 30 °C
+- Do not use heavy-duty detergent for colored clothes as it may cause fading
+
+The detergent drawer is typically organized as follows (from left to right):
+
+1. Main wash detergent
+2. Fabric softener
+3. Pre-wash detergent
+
+## After Washing
+
+After the washing program has finished:
+
+- Remove the laundry immediately.
+- Leave the washing machine door and detergent drawer open to allow the machine to dry.
+- Return the program selector to the 12 o'clock position.
+- Towels, bed linen and underwear can usually be tumble dried.
+
+## Tumble Dryer
+
+When using a tumble dryer:
+
+- Do not operate it unattended or overnight.
+- After every drying cycle, switch it off completely.
+- Clean both lint filters after or before every use to reduce the risk of fire.
