Whether you are painting a landscape or splashing abstract lines across a canvas, there is so much you can do with oils. But when it comes to removing oil paint from clothes, Tide can help you get rid of stains.
Pre-treat:
Using a bucket, a sink or a bowl, create a soaking solution by adding 28 grams or 1 ½ tablespoons of Tide Plus Bleach Alternative Liquid per 4 litres of warm water. Allow the garment to soak for up to 30 minutes, weighting the item with a white towel to keep it totally submerged.
Dose:
You can use the cap to ensure you use the right amount of laundry detergent. Just fill it with the correct dose of Tide laundry detergent, and pour it into the laundry detergent dispenser if you have an HE washing machine, or directly into the drum before loading the clothes if you have a non-HE washing machine.
Load:
Without rinsing off the laundry detergent, place the garment into the washer with other items. Leaving Tide laundtry detergent on the stain will give your wash that extra boost of cleaning power.
Wash:
Wash on the usual cycle, on the hottest wash temperature indicated. Always check the instructions on the garment’s care label.
Unload:
When the cycle is complete, unload the garments immediately.
If the stain persists after washing, pretreat using Tide HE Turbo Clean Liquid. (pour Tide on to cover stain and let set for 20 minutes). Then, rewash in warm water with 1 use of Tide before drying.
