Determining degree of soiling ▯ Light soiling No visible soiling or stains, but may have absorbed some odor. This could include light weight summer clothing such as T-shirts, shirts, or blouses worn only once. Also to freshen bed linen or guest towels. ▯ Normal soiling Visible soiling and/or a few light stains. This could include clothing such as T-shirts, shirts, or blouses that have been sweated in or worn several times. Also tea towels, hand towels or bed linen used for up to one week or more. Curtains without stains that have not been washed for up to a half year. ▯ Heavy soiling Visible soiling and stains. This could include kitchen towels, fabric napkins, baby bibs, children's outer clothing or sports jerseys and shorts stained with grass or dirt. It could also include working clothes such as overalls and jeans and other clothing worn for outside work and activities. 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. 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 residue if present. Pretreat or soak with a laundry product containing enzymes. 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. 31
