RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WASHING AND ECONOMIC USE YOUR WASHING MACHINE Wash new coloured garments separately the first time. Wash heavily soiled laundry in smaller amounts, with more detergent or a prewash cycle. Treat stubborn stains with a special stain removal agent before the wash. We recommend using the StainExpert stain removal programs, and observing the "Grandma's advice for natural stain removal". With slightly soiled laundry, we recommend a program without prewash, use of shorter programs (e.g.
Hardness scale Degree of hardness °dH (°N) m mol/l °fH(°F) p.p.m. 1 - soft < 8,4 < 1,5 < 15 < 150 2 - medium 8,4 - 14 1,5 - 2,5 15 - 25 150 - 250 3 - hard > 14 > 2,5 > 25 > 250 In case of hard water add detergent according to the Chart for degree 1 and add appropriate quantity of water softener (see manufacturer’s instructions). Washing machine is equipped with the dispenser left gate, so you may pour liquid detergent also into the central compartment (depending on model).
GRANDMA'S ADVICE FOR NATURAL STAIN REMOVAL Before using special-purpose stain removers, try using the natural methods that do not harm the environment on less stubborn stains.
Stain Stain removal Glue soak in spirit/denatured alcohol (or a mixture of vinegar and water); rinse Make-up use a glass cleaner and a paper towel Butter rinse with hot soapsuds (if the fabric permits); Fat tablecloth – sprinkle with baking soda, brush after a while wool – remove with mineral water use a mixture of baking soda + water (or toothpaste); dry; scrape off fresh stain - sprinkle with potato starch, then brush milk – rinse first with cold and then with hot water Burnt parts moisten the
