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 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 Eco Active™ 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 Eco Active™ 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
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
