USING THE WASHING MACHINE
Stains exist that cannot be removed by machine washing alone. Before trying to remove any type of
stain by hand, fi rst try the removal procedure on a small area of hidden fabric. Start 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 to adopt for removing stains are reported below.
▼
W
AX
: Scrape the wax using a rounded point
in order not to damage the fabric. Then, with
the fabric placed between two pieces of ab-
sorbent paper, run a hot iron over the stain.

ALL POINT PENS AND FELT
-
TIP PENS
: clean using
a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol. Take care
not to spread the stain.
▼
D
AMP AND MOULD
: if the fabric supports the
use of bleach, carry out a wash cycle adding
bleach. Otherwise, soak the soiled part in
hydrogen peroxide (10 volumes) and leave
for 10 to 15 minutes.

IGHT SCORCH MARKS LEFT BY IRONING
: follow the
instructions for mould and damp.

stains, following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions written on the packet.

away as much chewing gum as possible
and then rub with a piece of cotton soaked
in acetone.

symbols on the manufacturer’s label. The table reported below will provide a useful guide to reading
the symbols.

paint manufacturer (e.g. water, turps, trichlo-
roethylene), soap and then rinse.

nated using a cloth soaked in ether. Stains
on silk require the use of trichloroethylene.
