Washing clothes with the best results:

1. To ensure the greatest efficiency in cleaning

• Do not overload the washing machine
  (Your hand should fit snugly between the clothes and the drum).
• Pre-treat difficult stains
  That's why you can use the CODI ENERGIC or LA OCA STAINS REMOVE products and consult the tips to eliminate difficult stains that we give you on this website.
• Dosage correctly
  Follow the instructions on the product label and check the hardness of the water in your area. If the water is hard, you will need a higher dose to get an optimal result.
• Dry white clothes in the sun
  The sun shines on the brightness of white clothes.

2. To protect your clothes

• Wash with cold water
  Cold water is less aggressive with clothing and minimises the risk of fading and shrinking.
• Separate washes by colour
  Some colored pieces may fade if their dye is unstable in the wash. Whenever you have questions about a new piece of bright or dark colours, wash it by hand before attaching it to your laundry.
• Use the short wash cycle
  In a short cycle, the clothes are subjected to less agitation. It's a good trick to prolong the life of clothes.
• Hang your delicate clothes instead of using the dryer
  Although it is very time efficient, the dryer is aggressive with the fabrics when running in hot air and shaking the clothes even more.

3. To save

• Wash it in cold water
  It is the washing machine that heats the water for washing. By washiing in cold water, you can save more than 50% of your energy. In this case, make sure you are using an effective detergent at low temperatures, such as LA OCA detergents: MARSEILLE SOAP, WASH or ALOE VERA, and avoid having to rent again.
• Dose depending on laundry dirt:
  If you have no stains and just need to freshen up your clothes, you can use less detergent.
• Lava in short cycle:
  Choose a short rental cycle when your laundry is not very dirty. You will be saving up to 30% energy and 20% water.
• Try not to put the washing machine at medium load:
  Remember that you are spending twice as much to wash the same amount of clothes.
• When changing washing machines, choose low-power ones:
  With low power washers you can save up to 70% water and 24% energy. Look for manufacturer's A, B, or C signs that indicate low power consumption.
