Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just
water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to
treat them prior to washing.
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together.
Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For
dried stains, soak overnight in water with a
special detergent then rub in the soap and water.
New coloured items may run in the first wash;
they should therefore be washed separately the
first time.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab
the stain; treat several times.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks
and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine,
lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the
stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub
particularly soiled areas with a special detergent
or detergent paste.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust
removing product used cold. Be careful with rust
stains which are not recent since the cellulose
structure will already have been damaged and
the fabric tends to hole.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks
or tie them up in a bag or net.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites
and fast coloureds only).
General rules:
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone
(*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the
stain.
cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed
synthetics: drum no more than half full
29
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then
treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any
residual marks from white fabrics with bleach.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on
the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and
hardness of the water used.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse
and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.
Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Water hardness is classified in so-called
“degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness
of the water in your area can be obtained from
the relevant water supply company, or from your
local authority.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the
fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid;
treat any residual marks on white fabrics with
bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on
quantities to use.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover,
methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with
detergent paste.
Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load
– the laundry is lightly soiled
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk
– large amounts of foam form during washing.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice
of detergent and use of the correct quantities to
avoid waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain
substances which, in large quantities, can upset
the delicate balance of nature.
