We wash clothes to remove dirt, sweat, oils, stains, bacteria and odours that build up with everyday use. Washing also keeps us hygienic and preserves the appearance and texture of the fabric.
Hygiene and health
Clothes collect sweat, skin cells and bacteria. Left unwashed, they can cause odours, skin irritation and even infections. Regular washing keeps both your clothes and your skin healthy.
Longer-lasting fabrics
Dirt and oils slowly break down fibres. Cleaning garments the right way, at the right temperature and with the right detergent, keeps colours bright and fabrics soft for longer.
Looking your best
Fresh, clean and well-pressed clothes make a strong impression at work and at home. Ironing and finishing complete the look.
Washing the right way
- Sort by colour and fabric before washing
- Read the care label: some garments need dry cleaning
- Treat stains early, before they set
- Avoid overloading the machine
