How to remove stains?
Want to remove an ink or lipstick stain? A stain on your blouse collar or shirt cuffs? Here's how to get started:
- Apply a small amount of La Parisienne detergent of your choice directly to the stain.
- Scrub.
- Rinse.
- Wash immediately to avoid rings.
Some of our fave tricks:
- Remove stains as soon as possible (pre-treat immediately and rinse well with cold water if regular washing is not possible at this time). Treating the stain quickly greatly increases the chances of getting rid of it. Speed is your best friend!
- Before drying, always check to see if you’ve managed to wash the stain out. A stain that has been machine-dried is always more difficult to remove afterwards.
- If your garment remains stained after the first wash, soak it again with liquid detergent or apply detergent directly to the stain. Then scrub and wash your garment again.
- Check the required quantities carefully to avoid waste !
