Successful soaking

Here are a few hints for successful soaking

• Dissolve the detergent completely before adding clothes. This will avoid a blotchy finish.
• Always follow the garment manufacturer’s instructions for delicate fabrics and colours.
• Separate colours and whites before soaking.
• Test for colour fastness as some colours will run if left to soak for a while, even in plain water. Take particular care here with polyester viscose, woollens and silk.
• Do not use chlorine bleach with Sard Wonder Stain Remover.
• To avoid possible discolouration of the garments, do not soak leather, metal buttons or zippers for more than one hour.
• Never soak part of a garment of fabric. Always soak the entire item for an even result.
• Do not soak if the item is non-colour fast, multi-coloured, or features embroidery or transfers.
