Removing stains
Garments that are covered in stains, grease or are heavily soiled may
need to be pre-washed or soaked before being placed inside of the
washing machine.
o
Soaking helps to remove protein-type stains, like blood, milk or
grass.
o
Pre-washing helps to loosen soil before the main wash.
Stain removal rules
o
Use warm water for soaking or pre-washing stained laundry. Hot
water can set stains.
o
Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh.
o
Before treating any stain try to establish; what kind of stain it is,
how old the stain is, what the fabric type is and whether the
fabric is colourfast (check the care label to find this out).
o
Washing and drying can fix some stains.
o
When bleach is recommended, use mild fabric bleach that is safe
for the fabric.
o
If you need to use a stain remover, put the stained area face
down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to
the back of the stain. This forces the stain off the fabric, instead
of through it.
