HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing in-
structions. 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 turpentine, 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 acetone
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.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
