USING THE MACHINE
Some stains cannot be removed by just washing in a washing machine. Before trying to remove any
type of stain by hand, fi rst try the removal procedure on a small area of hidden fabric starting from the
edge of the stain and working inwards, this will prevent a dark ring from forming around the site of the
stain. A few methods for removing stains are reported below.
INTERNATIONAL CLOTHING CARE SYMBOLS
Before placing the clothes in the washing machine and selecting the wash programme, examine the
symbols on the manufacturer’s label. The table reported below will provide a useful guide to reading
the symbols.
