Recommended loads are indicated

in the program charts. General

rules:

Washing a maximum load makes

the most efficient use of water and

energy. For heavily soiled laundry,

reduce the load size.

Cotton, linen:

drum full but not

too tightly packed;

Synthetics:

drum no more

than half full;

Delicate

fabrics and

woollens:

drum no more

than one third full.

8.4 Maximum Loads

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

turpentine, lay the garment on a

soft surface and dab the stain with

the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Stubborn stains may not be

removed by just water and

detergent. It is therefore advisable

to treat them prior to washing.

8.5 Removing Stains

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot

water or a rust removing product

used in cold water. 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 acetone (*), lay the garment on

a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone (*)

as above, then treat stains with

methylated spirits. Remove any

residual marks from white fabrics

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 (*), then with acetic acid;

treat any residual marks on white

fabrics with bleach and then rinse

thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain

remover, methylated spirits or

benzine, then rub with detergent

paste.

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.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial

silk.
