It is possible that certain stains are not removed
with soap and water. It is therefore advisable special
care before washing.
• Blood: Rinse with cool water, apply oxygen water
(volume 10) on the stain and wash normallly.
• Oil: Apply talcum powder on the stain, wait a
few minutes, remove excess powder and wash
normally.
• Rust: Apply mixture of salt and lemon or specific
product against rust, leave it for a few minutes and
wash normally. In old stains the fabric structure
may have been attacked and tear more easily.

wash with bleach. For colored clothes and not
resistant to chlorine, rinse the stained area with
milk.

tissue, moisten with acetone (except rayon) or
alcohol, rub with brush and wash normally.
• Lipstick: Apply acetone (except rayon) or alcohol
on the stain, leave it for some minutes and wash
normally.
