The advantages of washing with the modular system

In traditional heavy duty detergents, the detergent, softener and bleaching agent are all mixed into one component. If the components are separate from each other, as is the case with the Sonett modular washing system, the respective detergent may be used in ideal dosage, according to the local water hardness and the degree of soiling – this being the most economical and ecological way of doing your laundry.

Basic detergent: Made from pure vegetable soap with coconut oil alcohol sulphate and sugar surfactant
Bleaching agent: Pure oxygen bleach (sodium percarbonate)
Softener: Silicates (zeolite), sodium carbonate and salt of citric acid instead of phosphates

Tips for stain removal

5 basic rules

Remove stains as soon as possible and then wash the fabric as usual (follow label instructions).
If possible, mechanically remove large stains in advance.
Treat stains outside in.
Dab stains on delicate fabrics, do not rub or brush.
Test the colour fastness on a small hidden area before treating the stain.

Sonett products for stain removal:

• Gall Soap

• Stain Removal Spray

• Orange Power Cleaner

• Bleach Complex

• Laundry Rinse

Fruit, grass and vegetable stains
Apply Sonett Gall Soap, leave for a few minutes, rinse out and wash as normal. Please test the colour fastness of the garment on a small hidden area before treating the stain.

Fat stains

Apply some undiluted Sonett Orange Power Cleaner, leave for a few minutes and then wash out. This is ideal for removing fat stains on delicate garments. Or treat with Sonett Gall Soap or Sonett Stain Removal Spray, see above.

Pen and ink

Can generally be removed well with Sonett Gall Soap or Sonett Stain Removal Spray.

Milk, blood and egg-white stains

Thoroughly rinse out all egg-white stains using cold water, then, if necessary, treat with Sonett Gall Soap.

Coffee and tea stains

Pre-treat the stain with lemon juice or Sonett Laundry Rinse, rinse thoroughly and then wash as normal. Light fabrics can be washed as normal with Sonett Bleach Complex (50 °C), without any pre-treatment.

Cocoa and chocolate stains

Spray on Sonett Stain Removal Spray and leave on to be effective for 10 minutes, then rinse or put garment straight into the washing machine.

Wax stains

Place blotting paper on the wax and carefully warm with a hair-dryer. Remove the remaining wax with a solvent. Be careful with hot irons. In this case the wax liquefies too quickly and can become fixed to the fibres.

Rust and old blood stains
Place the stain in Sonett Laundry Rinse, rinse with cold water and then wash as normal using Sonett Bleach Complex, if possible.

Washing instructions

Separating the laundry:

Separate your laundry according to the washing instructions on the garment’s label.
Separate dark and light clothes in order to avoid colours turning grey.
Turn coloured clothes inside out before washing. This way, the colour stays bright for a longer period of time, and streaking is avoided.
Make sure to empty the pockets of all coats, jackets, and trousers before washing and close the zips and buttons.
Treat stains with Sonett Gall Soap before washing or according to the tips for stain removal.

Filling the machine correctly:

Fill the machine (front loader) so that there’s a fist’s width between the washing and the drum. This way the detergent dissolves better, the clothes are cleaner and residues are thoroughly rinsed away.

Drying the laundry:

After washing, take the laundry out of the machine as soon as possible. This is particularly important when the washing cycle is below 60 °C, as remaining micro-organisms can multiply and lead to a musty smell in the washing.
Leave detergent drawer (front loader) and door/lid open after use for better ventilation.
Remember that hanging-up laundry is the most energy-efficient way of drying.
Dryers should not be over-loaded and the washing should not be left in too long.

Sportswear and microfibres

such as Goretex, Sympatex, Softshell etc.
Please read the garment’s label. Unless otherwise instructed, proceed as follows:

Select setting for a delicate (warm) wash (40 °C)
Use Sonett Laundry Liquid Color, ensure that you use the correct dose
Select additional rinse cycle
Spin-dry very gently
If using a tumble dryer, set at a low temperature and use a smaller load.

Down jackets and pillows

Laundry Liquid for Wool and Silk is quite well tolerated by down. Note: Whilst drying, down must be continually moved in order not to stick together.

Unless otherwise indicated, please proceed in the following way:

Select gentle wash cycle (30 °C)
Use Olive Laundry Liquid for Wool and Silk without softener
Add extra rinsing cycle
Spin very gently only
Tumble-dry small load at low temperature
Important: Keep shaking the downs every now and then when drying them on a washing line.

Sheepskins

Wash sheepskin only when airing, beating and brushing the item are no longer of any use, and the less often the better. Even washable sheepskins generally tend to become hard after washing; therefore the best way of cleaning is one which keeps the leather as dry as possible.

Unless otherwise instructed, proceed as follows:

Depending on the size of the sheepskin, place the same size towel over the edge of a bath tub and lie half of the sheepskin on this.
Using the shower head and lukewarm water quickly wet the skin; avoid soaking this as much as possible.
Mix Sonett Olive Laundry Liquid for Wool and Silk in a small container with water (approx. 5 ml = 1 full teaspoon in 100 ml of water = 1 small yoghurt tub) and shampoo half the sheepskin and, if necessary, treat any stains with it.
Then quickly rinse, using the shower head and lukewarm water and ‘press dry’ with a hand towel. Repeat this procedure for the other half of the sheepskin.
Place on a clothes horse to dry and while drying, shake occasionally. Please do not place it in the sun or near radiators. The dried skin can then be brushed with a coarse brush and will look as good as new.
