Removing candy stains

  • 1

    Remove excess

    Scrape off any excess from the garment before rinsing under running water. The higher the water pressure, the easier it will be to remove.

    Pour

    Pour Ariel Regular Liquid Laundry Detergent directly onto the marker stain, enough to completely cover it. Pour from either the bottle or the cap.

    Pre-treat

    Spread the detergent over the stain with the pre-treat cap. The cap’s flexible fins can help spread the detergent deep into the garment’s fibres as well as over the surface of the stain.

    Load

    Without rinsing off the detergent, place the garment into the wash with similar items. Leaving the detergent on the stain will give your wash that extra boost of cleaning power.

    You can also use the pre-treat cap to ensure you use the right amount of detergent. Just fill it with the correct dose of detergent and place it directly into your washing machine’s drum, on top of your dirty laundry.
