Laundry advice
- The quantity of Power Bleach required will vary depending on the nature and degree of soiling, as well as the wash temperature.
- Better wash results are always obtained with warm to hot water.
- Read and follow garment washing instructions.
- Wash colours separately.
- Test the colourfastness of garments before use.
Handy tips
- When manually filling bottles, buckets or tanks, add the water first and Power Bleach last. This prevents foaming, chemical splashes and spills.
- Always test first in an inconspicuous area before using any cleaning solution. Play it safe, especially when you use a product for the first time. Better to be safe than sorry. Some surfaces can be sensitive to moisture and particular chemical types.
What happens if Power Bleach touches carpet, upholstery or other fabrics that aren't suitable for bleach?
Power Bleach should never come into contact with non-colourfast fabrics of any kind. If it does, you risk bleaching the fibre and causing permanent damage and discolouration that will need replacement. Always test Power Bleach first.
