You can use Resolve on clothes either by adding it to your washing machine with your laundry or by pre-treating specific stains before washing.
Resolve stain remover is a versatile product designed to tackle tough stains and boost your laundry's cleaning power. Here's how you can effectively use it on your clothes based on your needs:
Adding Resolve to Your Wash
Using Resolve in the washing machine is ideal for general cleaning, brightening, or handling loads that are dirty but don't have specific, set-in stains.
- For Normal Loads: Fill the Resolve product slightly above line four on the container.
- For Heavily Soiled Loads: Use twice the amount recommended for normal loads. This means using a fill amount that is double the "slightly above line four" mark.
- Application Method: For a standard washer, pour the recommended amount directly into the washer drum before adding clothes, or according to your machine's instructions for laundry additives.
Using Resolve in the wash helps to lift dirt and grime from all items in the load, leaving clothes cleaner and fresher.
Pre-treating Stains with Resolve
For stubborn spots and set-in stains, pre-treating is a highly effective method. This allows the concentrated formula to work directly on the affected area before the full wash cycle.
- Locate the Stain: Identify the specific area on the garment that needs treatment.
- Apply Resolve: Pour RESOLVE Stain Remover onto the stain. Ensure the stain is fully saturated with the product.
- Let it Work: Leave the Resolve on the stain for five minutes. This dwell time is crucial for the active ingredients to penetrate and begin breaking down the stain.
- Wash as Usual: After five minutes, place the garment in the washing machine and wash according to the fabric's care instructions, ideally with detergent.
Important Considerations:
- Always check the garment's care label before applying any stain remover.
- Test Resolve on an inconspicuous area of the fabric first to ensure colorfastness.
- For best results, treat stains as quickly as possible.
Here's a quick summary based on usage:
| Usage Type | Amount | Application Method | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal Wash | Slightly above line four | Pour directly into standard washer | General cleaning, boosting wash |
| Heavy Wash | Twice the amount for normal loads | Pour directly into standard washer | Deep cleaning for very dirty items |
| Pre-Treat | Enough to saturate the stain | Pour directly onto stain | Targeting specific, stubborn stains |
By following these steps, you can effectively use Resolve to tackle various laundry challenges, keeping your clothes looking their best.
