Washing tips
Stain removal
The most common stains will disappear during the wash. If
they are particularly stubborn, soak the garment in water
and rub a little detergent onto the stain before putting it in
the washing machine.
Greasy marks (especially old ones) need treating with a stain-
remover. Be careful not to mark the fabric with remover.
Pre-treatment for awkward stains
- Ink: ball point/felt tip; Put a few drops of nail varnish remover
or surgical spirit onto a piece of cotton wool and dab the
stain. Wash at 90°C (NB. This is only suitable for colourfast
cottons)
- Tar and oil; Scrape off any thick tar or oil on the surface.
Soften the remainder with margarine or butter and wipe
away with a clean cloth. Treat any residual stain with
turpentine, then wash according to the fabric
- Wax; Scrape off, then put the stained garment between
two pieces of blotting paper and press with a hot iron. Dab
the stain immediately with cotton wool dipped in turpentine
- Chewing gum; Apply nail varnish remover to the gum,
then remove it carefully
- Lipstick; Pretreat with a liquid detergent using the dosing
ball, rub vigorously and rinse before washing
- Grass; Soak in a warm washing solution using a biological
washing product, then wash according to the fabric.
Alternatively, saturate the stain with white methylated spirit.
Rinse and wash normally
- Paint: Water based latex, acrylic and school paints, emulsion
paints; Treat stains while still wet. Rinse thoroughly under
running water to flush out the paint, then wash according
to the fabric.
Oil based paint/varnish; Sponge with white spirit or paint
brush cleaner before washing in the normal way.

What not to wash in your appliance?
- Torn, frayed or unhemmed items; in order to wash items
of this kind, wrap them in a linen bag to prevent them from
tearing during the wash.
- Dark coloured items with white items. Dark items should
be washed separately .
Curtains
Curtains tend to crease badly. Try this washing hint to prevent
creases: fold the curtains carefully and place in a pillow case
or loose mesh bag; wash separately ensuring that the weight
is no more than a half wash load.
Quilts, tennis shoes and wind-cheaters
Contrary to common belief, goose or duck down quilts and
wind-cheaters, can in fact be machine washed, provided
the instructions shown on the label are followed carefully.
Remember however to load no more than 2-3 kg of laundry
and to repeat the rinse cycle once or twice following with a
gentle spin. In the case of tennis shoes, wipe off mud and
then machine wash with denims or heavy fabrics (but not
white fabrics).
