Discover these well-kept secrets from laundry pros that combine cleanliness, savings and respect for fibers. In the machine!
Keep your colours vibrant, wash after wash
- For light colours: add a small glass of household white vinegar to the fabric softener tray. It revives colors and softens fabrics, naturally.
- For dark colours: a tablespoon of salt in the wash water helps to set the pigments and prevents discolouration. As simple as that!
Grease stain? A little toothpaste works wonders!
A little frying pan or dish accident in sauce? Don’t panic. Before you wash your garment, try this:
- Apply a dab of white toothpaste (not gel) directly to the stain.
- Gently rub with a little water until a lather forms.
- Then wash normally: your garment will come out clean and without streaks!

- Then wash as usual. Lighting effect guaranteed!
