USING THE WASHING MACHINE

HOW TO REMOVE SOME STAINS

Stains exist that cannot be removed by machine washing alone. Before trying to remove any type of stain by hand, ﬁ rst try the removal procedure on a small area of hidden fabric. Start from the edge of the stain and working inwards, this will prevent a dark ring from forming around the site of the stain. A few methods to adopt for removing stains are reported below.

▼ W

AX: Scrape the wax using a rounded point

in order not to damage the fabric. Then, with the fabric placed between two pieces of absorbent paper, run a hot iron over the stain.

ALL POINT PENS AND FELT-TIP PENS: clean using

▼ B

a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol. Take care not to spread the stain.

AMP AND MOULD: if the fabric supports the

▼ D

use of bleach, carry out a wash cycle adding bleach. Otherwise, soak the soiled part in hydrogen peroxide (10 volumes) and leave for 10 to 15 minutes.

IGHT SCORCH MARKS LEFT BY IRONING: follow the

▼ L

instructions for mould and damp.

UST: use products specially designed for rust

▼ R

stains, following the manufacturer’s instructions written on the packet.

HEWING GUM: rub ice over the fabric, scrape

▼ C

away as much chewing gum as possible and then rub with a piece of cotton soaked in acetone.

▼ PAINT: do not allow the paint to dry. Rub the

area with the solvent recommended by the paint manufacturer (e.g. water, turps, trichloroethylene), soap and then rinse.

IPSTICK: stains on cotton or wool can be elimi-

▼ L

nated using a cloth soaked in ether. Stains on silk require the use of trichloroethylene.

AIL VARNISH: place a sheet of absorbent

▼ N

paper on the stained material, then dampen the back of the fabric with acetone, frequently changing the absorbent paper placed over the stain. Continue in this manner until the stain has disappeared.

AR OR DIRT: spread a little fresh butter over

▼ T

the stain, allow to stand and then wash with oil of turpentine.

RASS: delicately soap the stain, use diluted
