Identifying and treating stains
For mild and recent stains the Stains button for food
based grease/oils, blood, red wine and grass can be
used. For more stubborn and set in stains the below
methods can be of help.
Removing stains
▯ Remove/pretreat stains as soon as possible after they
have occurred.
▯ Dab with a soapy solution. Do not rub.
▯ Select an appropriate wash cycle and wash the item.
Several washing cycles may be required in order to
remove stubborn or dried-in stains.
Oils and grease: normal body skin oil,
cooking oils/fats, sauces, mineral oil, or
wax (containing fat/oil). Treatment: scrape
residue from fabric. Pretreat. Wash using
hottest water safe for the fabric. For heavy
stains, apply non-flammable dry cleaning
fluid to back of stain, replacing towels
under stain frequently. Rinse thoroughly
and wash using hottest water safe for the
fabric.
Beverages and juices: tea, coffee, red
wine, fruit, vegetables. Treatment: Pretreat
stain. Wash using cold water.
Proteins and carbohydrates: blood, egg,
milk, starch. Treatment: Rinse immediately
in cold water. If stain remains, soak in cold
water with an enzyme prewash.
Soot, dirt, sand (pigments), red clay (such
as soiling of tennis clothing). Brush off res-
idue if present. Pretreat or soak with a
laundry product containing enzymes.
