•Put v ery small articles (belts, handkerchiefs, socks, bras with stiffeners, etc.) into a white canv as bag. Close push buttons and zips and sew on loose buttons.

•Modern detergents and correct washing temperatures are generally sufficient to remov e stains f rom fabrics. Howev er, some stubborn stains, such as grass, f ruit, egg, blood, rust and ink, should be pre-treated bef ore washing. Depending on the type of fabric, many stain removers can be found in the shops. Stains

should always be cleaned or diluted immediately as the older they get, the more difficult they are to remove.
