What should I do when I get a stain?

The following advice will help you tackle difficult stains:

• If it’s a fresh stain rinse immediately in cold water as this reduces the chances of it settling into the fibres, easing its removal. Don’t rinse with hot water as this will set stains making them more difficult to remove.
• After soaking in cold water for about two hours the garment should be checked. If the stain has visibly weakened then wash as normal, as instructed on the fabric care label. 
• If the stain is still obvious pre-treat the stain with a biological liquid or gel such as Ariel. The liquid will penetrate deep into the stain. The stained article can then be washed as normal. This method will work best on greasy and food based stains.
• For really tough stains, pre-treat with Ariel Stain Remover. After pre-treating place garments into the washing machine and simply measure the liquid into the cap and pour it straight into the heart of the wash.
