Gash Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Ok, i have a jumper i need to wash, but nobody is about (or answering calls) who knows how to use a washing machine. All i know is it is 50% cotton 50% Acrylic and has a stain on the front that i have doused in vanish. Any help would be wonderful (Catmag, Blufescu(w/e) or alreetlike) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Needs to be a high temp, around 90c. You want a long cycle too. Find the prog dial and the start button. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Sounds beyond help to me, can't believe normal warm water will shift varnish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Needs to be a high temp, around 90c. You want a long cycle too. Find the prog dial and the start button. and no fabric conditioner for wool. then half an hour in the tumble dryer should do fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gash Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Theres too many options, 95 is the ighest it does so 90 seems like a piss take tbh. Just put it on hand wash and hope for the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I've never washed anything on 90 before, seems a bit like the nuclear option! Maybe towels and white bed sheets I guess. I normally just stick everything on a very low temperature and short wash, but then I'm not tackling many serious stain situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 The stain just looks like maybe a red shot and some takeaway. Not anything like paint. My mum will be so proud when she gets in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
