Stains
We recommend that you treat a stain as soon as you can. There are a number of stains that need
special treatment due to their unique composition. Some water temperatures can actually set
stains rather than remove them. This is why we have carefully designed our preprogrammed
STAINS cycles for you.
Chocolate
Chocolate is a complex stain with a mix of fats, proteins and sugars. Initially the
stain is treated with a warm/hot wash that delivers the active ingredients of the
detergent to the core of the stain. A soak is then used to activate the enzymes
within the detergent to break down the proteins and fats and remove the last
of the stain. A spray and deep rinse and fast spin remove any detergent residue.
Tomato
Research tells us that tomato based sauce stains are some of the most
common stains slopped on Australian and New Zealand clothes. This greasy
stain can be quite hard to remove. An intermittent soaking procedure has
been included to get the benefit of the enzymes within the detergent, with a
spray and deep rinse and fast spin to finish.
Blood
Blood stains can set, if subjected to warm water. This special cycle uses a cold
Detergent Activating wash to deal to blood stains, followed by a warm agitate
to remove any other soils. This cycle is finished with a spray and deep rinse and
a fast spin.
Grass
Like other protein based stains, eg. blood, grass can set and become
impossible to remove, if subjected to warm water. This special cycle uses a
combination of a cold Detergent Activating wash and warm agitate to remove
grass stains. This cycle is finished with a spray and deep rinse and a fast spin.
Fruit
We recommend that you treat fruit stains with cold water as soon as they
occur. This stains cycle has been designed to target fruit stains and finish off
the stain removal process for you. The higher temperatures in the Eco Active™
wash will activate any colour-safe bleaches in your detergent, with a spray and
deep rinse and fast spin to finish.
Wine
We recommend you try and treat wine stains with soda water or cold water, as
soon as they occur. This special cycle is designed to finish off the wash process
for you. Some detergents contain colour-safe bleaches and would be ideal to
be used with this wash. The increase in temperature will activate the bleach to
target the stain. This cycle is finished with a spray and deep rinse and a fast spin.
