To prevent darkening of colour and colour transfer
Due to less water used for drum type washing machines, stain or dye concentration may become high, resulting in
noticeable darkening or colour transfer of clothes.
Note the following
Separately wash new coloured clothes or clothes that easily lose
colour or are heavily soiled.
(If the lost colours transfer to white clothes, darkening of clothes may occur.)
Warm wash program in particular tend to cause colour transfer.
Check care labels of clothes carefully. (P.17)
Use the correct amount of detergent. (P.21) (Using too small amount
of detergent may cause once-removed soil to stick to the clothes
again, resulting in darkening of clothes.)
Do not put in excessive amount of softener. (Softener residue
on clothes may cause darkening of clothes.) When using in
combination with liquid detergent in particular, darkening of clothes
may be noticeable. If it worries you, use powder detergent.
To prevent creases and shrinkage caused by drying
Note the following

commercially sold "brassiere-dedicated net".)
• Clothes and lingerie decorated with lace

How to check loss of colour

detergent and rub a hidden part of

Clothes that shrink by drying
Some clothes may shrink just by soaking
in water, washing or drying.
(Because tension generated in fabric
processing is restored to the original
level by washing)
Some may shrink more by mechanical
force in drying.
• Knit products made of cotton,
linen, etc.
• Underwear shirt • T-shirt.
• Polo shirt • Sweat shirt, etc.
If shrinkage worries you (P.36)
