Stain-by-stain guide
Fruit
Apply stain soap to the wet stain on cotton and linen, leave for 10–15 minutes and wash. Use the stain spray on silk and wool.
Coffee and tea
Add bleach to the detergent and wash white and colourfast laundry at at least 50 °C.
Grass
Rub stain soap into the wet fabric, leave for 10–15 minutes and then wash as usual.
Blood
Rinse with cold water first; hot water sets blood into the fabric. Then apply stain soap.
Oil
Blot away excess oil with paper towels. Use stain soap on cotton and the stain spray on silk and wool.
Ballpoint pen
Moisten the stain with stain soap or spray without rubbing, leave to work and then wash.
Cocoa and chocolate
Spray the stain spray on silk and wool, leave for a short time and wash by hand. Bleach can be used on white cotton.
Yellowing
Wash yellowed and greyed white laundry with bleach at at least 50 °C.
