Ingredients

Never use very hot water for washing stained garments as this often sets the stains and makes them very difficult or impossible to remove.

Some stains are more easily removed by washing if they are soaked first in cold water, e.g. mud and blood stains, and the brown stain from shoe inner soles.

The use of chemicals is required for removing certain stains. Carry out this treatment before washing. Remove all traces of the chemical.

To apply a stain removing agent to fabric, place a fold of clean rag underneath the stain so that any surplus moisture is absorbed.

To prevent a ring forming around the stain, work from the outside of the stain, in an uneven circular shape, towards the centre, dabbing it very lightly with a pad of clean rag which has been dipped in the removal agent.
