Soaking and Pre-treating—
a good way to loosen deep soils
and
stains.
A thorough soaking with detergent
or special soaking agent is another
way to remove heavy soils,
embedded dirt and even some
stains.
Soaking can be either a completely
separate washing step or a prelim-
inary step to a complete wash cycle.
