Detergents
Any of the modern, commercially available detergents made for

soiling.
The various types of soiling are:
■
Dirt,
e.g. dust, soot, sweat, organic stains, etc.
■
Stains which respond to bleach,
e.g. red wine, fruit, vege¬
tables, etc.
■
Protein stains,
e.g. blood, milk etc.
Detergents are available in the following forms:

with bleaching agent
■ Liquid detergent,
without bleaching agent
■ Colour-safe detergents for delicate fabrics and col¬
oureds,
without bleaching agent and often also without whit-
eners

not damage wool fibres.

substances which prevent the curtains from yellowing in sun¬
light.

trated use on stains or as an additive with bleach-free deter¬
gents.
