Lifecycles™
L4 Stains
There are a number of stains that need special treatments due to their unique compositions.
Some water temperatures actually set in stains rather than remove them. Use these
Lifecycles
™
to care for these specific stains.
CHOCOLATE
Chocolate is a complex mixture of fats, proteins and sugars. Initially the stain is treated with a
warm/hot
Eco Active
™ wash that delivers the active ingredients of the detergent into the core
of the stain. We then incorporate a soak in with a warm wash to enable the enzymes in the
detergent to break down both the proteins and the fats. The cycle is completed with a spray
and deep rinse, and a fast spin.
TOMATO
Research tells us that “Spag Bol”/pasta stains are the most
common stains slopped on New Zealand and Australian
clothes. This is actually a greasy stain that takes a bit of
work to remove. An intermittent soaking procedure has
been included to get the benefit of the detergent with
enzymes. This cycle consists of a warm/hot
Eco Active
™
wash, a warm agitate with a soaking cycle, a spray and
deep rinse, and a fast spin.
BLOOD/GRASS
This cycle is for those protein-based stains like blood and grass that set if they are subjected to
warm water first. This cycle has a cold
Eco Active
™ wash, warm agitate, a spray and deep rinse,
and a fast spin.
FRUIT/WINE
It is important to treat these stains immediately with soda water if you have it, or cold water.
The following will finish off the process. Some detergents contain colour-safe bleaches, that
would be ideal here as the higher temperatures in the
Eco Active
™ wash activate the bleaches.
This wash has a warm/hot
Eco Active
™ wash with a warm agitate, a spray and deep rinse and a
fast spin.
Note:
Eco Active
™ wash only applies to
Intuitive Eco
™ models. IW512 uses a traditional agitation wash
at the indicated temperature.
