Get a stained garment into a normal wash

immediately, and it’s likely to come out

spotless. However some stains need a little

more attention.

Here’s what to do before treating a tough

stain:

Before You Start

When it comes to stains there is a need for

speed. The quicker you get it in the machine,

the higher the chance of getting rid of the

stain completely.

Colourfastness

Colourfastness is the resistance of a garment’s colour to fade. Before washing, make sure that you

know if the clothes are colourfast or not. Check the care label and do the colourfast test to ensure that

dye doesn’t stain other items of clothing in the load.

Soaking

A heavily stained garment may need to be soaked before being washed.
