In order to act properly on stains, it is important
to be able to distinguish them.
Identifying the stain means understanding its ori-
gin and age. This allows you to avoid unsucces-
sful attempts which often, as well as not produ-
cing an optimal result, can also be damaging.
“THE AGE”
All
RECENT
stains can be removed with the
stain remover gun without having to wash the
item. As they get older, stains attach themselves
to the fabric’s fibres and in some cases, steam
cannot remove them. In such cases it is neces-
sary to wash the item. If the recently stained fa-
brics are treated immediately with mineral water,
the stain does not attach itself to the fibres and
subsequent steam cleaning with the stain remo-
ver gun will prove quicker and more effective.
“THE ORIGIN”
Stains are produced from substances of various
origins and according to the base of the predo-
minant substance they can be classified as ha-
ving the following origin:
•
ANIMAL
(protein base): soup and meat
sauce, milk and cream, blood, sweat, egg,
urine, vomit.
•
VEGETABLE
(tannin base): beer, coffee, cho-
colate, Coca-Cola, fruit, wine, tea.
•
VARIOUS
(specific stains): paint, lipstick, biro,
tar, rust, perfume.
To better identify the origins of the staining sub-
stance you can help yourself by using your
senses. The shape, touch, colour and location
are very important (see
TAB.1
).

To obtain steam from the stain remover gun,
press button (
U
). The powerful jet of steam pro-
duced can be used effectively as follows, depen-
ding on the type and size of stain.
• If operating on a SUPERFICIAL STAIN, direct
the jet of steam to skim the fabric in proximity
of the stain in order to project the dirt with the
pressure against a cloth used to collect it
(fig.9).
• If operating on a DEEP STAIN, turn the item
inside out and act on the fabric from the in-
side. After resting it on a sponge, direct the jet
of steam onto the stain so that the dissolved
dirt can exit from the opposite side of the fa-
bric and be absorbed by the sponge (fig.10).
• Simple methods are often the most effective:
a shot of steam can sometimes be sufficient to
eliminate even the most resistant stains.

• To avoid halos around the stain it is advisable
to point the steam jet nearby the borders of
the stain first and then towards the center of it
gradually.
• Make sure that the stain has been completely
removed from the fabric before ironing it, as
the iron’s heat fixes the stain permanently.
• To obtain an even better result, it is advisable
to perform the cleaning operations on an iro-
ning table equipped with a suction board.
• DO NOT use the steam on bloodstains as
blood coagulates with heat thus fixing the
stain permanently.
• Should the stain persist, do not dry the item
before acting a second time. Should the stain
persist even after the second attempt, it is ad-
visable to contact a qualified dry cleaning cen-
tre.
• A summary table accurately classifying the
types of stains in relation to the advisable
cleaning method is included as part of these
instructions (
TAB.2
).
• Always do a test on a non visible part of the
item first or on a sample.
• When dealing with coloured items, it is advisa-
ble to test the colour resistance on a section
of non visible material.
• Use moderately with silk items and acetate
based fibres.
• Never leave the gun within the reach of chil-
