Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens. 6.2 Temperatures 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. Remove persistent stains before washing.
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.
