Lifecycles
L4 Stain Cycles
There are a number of stains that need special treatments due to their unique compositions.
Some water temperatures actually set stains rather than removing them. Use these Lifecycles to
care for these specific stains.

CHOCOLATE

Chocolate is a complex mixture of fats, proteins and sugars. Initially the stain is treated with a
warm/hot Eco Active™ wash that delivers the active ingredients of the detergent into the core
of the stain. Intuitive then incorporates a soak with a warm wash to enable the enzymes in the
detergent to break down both the proteins and the fats. The cycle is then finished off with a
spray and deep rinse, and a fast spin.

TOMATO

Research tells us that ketchup and pasta stains are the
most common stains spilt on clothes. This is actually
a greasy stain that takes a bit of work to remove. An
intermittent soaking procedure has been included to
get the benefit of the enzymes within the detergent.
This cycle consists of a warm/hot Eco Active™ wash, a
warm agitate with a soaking cycle, a spray and deep
rinse, and a fast spin.

BLOOD/GRASS

This cycle is for those protein-based stains like blood and grass that set if they are subjected to
warm water first. This cycle has a cold Eco Active™ wash, warm agitate, a spray and deep rinse,
and a fast spin.

FRUIT/WINE

It is important to treat these stains immediately with soda water if you have it, or cold water.
The Fruit/Wine cycle will finish off the process. Some detergents contain color-safe bleach. They
would be perfect here as the higher temperatures in the Eco Active™ wash activate the bleach.
This wash has a warm/hot Eco Active™ wash with a warm agitate, a spray and deep rinse and a
fast spin.
