Helpful hints and tips

Sorting out the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each gar-

ment label and the manufacturer’s washing

instructions. Sort the laundry as follows:

whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates,

woollens.

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together.

Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the

wash.

New coloured items may run in the first wash;

they should therefore be washed separately

the first time.

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,

hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long

tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing.

Rub particularly soiled areas with a special

detergent or detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove

hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just

water and detergent. It is therefore advisable

to treat them prior to washing.

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.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain

remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and

dab the stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpen-

tine, lay the garment on a soft surface and

dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton

cloth.

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.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well

(whites and fast coloureds only).

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach

(whites and fast coloureds only).

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with ace-

tone

1)

, lay the garment on a soft cloth and

dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above,

then treat stains with methylated spirits.

Treat any residual marks with bleach.

Red wine: soak in water and detergent,

rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then

rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach.

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten

the fabric first with acetone

1)

, then with acetic

acid; treat any residual marks on white fab-

rics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, me-

thylated spirits or benzine, then rub with de-

tergent paste.

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 en-

vironment.

Although biodegradable, detergents contain

substances which, in large quantities, can

upset the delicate balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the

type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons,

etc.), the colour, washing temperature and

degree of soiling.

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
