Helpful hints and tips

Sorting out the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and

the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry

as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, wool-

lens.

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 de-

tergent. 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 gar-

ment 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.
