Stain removal guide Stained, heavily soiled or greasy laundry may need to be pre-washed or soaked. Pre-washing helps loosen soil before washing. Soaking helps remove protein type stains like blood, milk or grass. Hot water can set stains and should not be used . Pre-clean the stain if possible by placing the garment face down on a paper towel or clean cloth. Apply a recommended stain remover to the back of the stain to force the stain away from the garment and not through it.
Problem washing—Check list GREASY STAINS ON WASHING Use more detergent if washing is heavily soiled. Use both pre-wash and main wash programmes. Check that the machine is not overloaded. GREY DIRTY LOOKING WASHING Use more detergent if the washing is heavily soiled or if the machine is located in a hard water area. Use pre-wash and main wash programmes. Check that the machine is not overloaded. POOR WASH RESULTS Read the instruction book carefully.
