You don’t have to be a chimney sweep in Victorian London to get soot stains on your clothes. While you might not have a magical maid to whip your laundry into shape, Tide can clean up your clothes and get rid of soot stains so they don’t look like they went dancing with the chimney sweeps on the rooftop.
Remove Excess:
Brush off any excess from the garment before rinsing under cold, running water. The higher the water pressure, the easier it will be to remove.

Pre-treat:
Using a bucket, a sink or a bowl, create a soaking solution by adding 28 grams or 1 ½ tablespoons of Tide HE Turbo Clean Liquid per 4 litres of cold water. Allow the garment to soak for up to 5 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 laundry 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, repeat the previous steps before tossing in the dryer, as drying will set the stain.
