Removing Stains / Specifications - NEC NWTL656 User Manual

Stained, heavily-soiled, or greasy items may need to be prewashed or soaked for best results.
Soaking helps remove protein type stains like blood, milk, or grass. Prewashing helps loosen
soil before washing.
Stain removal rules
• Use warm water for soaking or prewashing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains.
• Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh. Old set stains may not come out.
• Before treating any stain, find out what kind of stain it is, what kind of fabric it is, an dif the
fabric is colour fast. (check the care label)
• Start with cold or warm water, hot can set some stain. When bleach is recommended, use
bleach that is safe for the fabric.
• Put the stained area face down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to
the back of the stain. This force the stain of the fabric instead of through it.
