Types of stains

Some typical stains:

  • Blood
    Immediately rinse with cold or tepid water, then wash as usual. Pre-soak dried blood stains (with a customary soaking product) and then wash as usual.
  • Chocolate
    Remove as much as possible, for example with the blunt side of a knife. Rinse with tepid water, apply liquid detergent and rinse again. Then wash immediately.
  • Chewing gum
    Place the garment in the freezer for a while. Once frozen, chewing gum is easy to remove.
  • Milk
    Rinse with tepid water (never use hot water, as that will fix the stain). Soak if required and then wash as usual.
  • Rust
    Special products are available to deal with rust stains. Follow the instructions for the product and then wash the garment as usual.
  • Tomatoes
    Rinse with tepid water, soak, rinse and wash as usual.
  • Fruit
    Rinse with tepid water and dab gently with lemon juice. Using soap straight away may change the colour of the stain. Then wash garment as usual.
  • Ice cream
    Rinse with tepid water, treat with an anti-stain product if necessary.
