Soak is a gentle, no-rinse laundry soap designed for delicate items. Here's how to use it effectively:
Using Soak in a Washing Machine
- Add Soak: Pour the appropriate amount of Soak (refer to the bottle's instructions, as concentrations may vary) into your washing machine's dispenser, just as you would with a regular liquid laundry detergent.
- Select Delicate Cycle: Choose the delicate or gentle cycle on your washing machine. This ensures a gentler wash with less agitation, which is ideal for delicate fabrics.
- Wash: Let the washing machine run through its cycle.
- Rinse (Optional): Whether or not you use the rinse cycle depends on the item you're washing. Some prefer to skip the rinse to leave a subtle fragrance and preserve the gentle treatment. Others prefer a rinse, especially for heavily soiled items. Experiment to see what works best for your needs.
Spot Cleaning with Soak
- Apply Soak: Dampen the end of a clean cotton swab with Soak.
- Gently Rub: Gently rub the soiled or stained area with the soaked cotton swab.
- Rinse: Rinse the treated area with clean water.
- Blot Dry: Blot the area dry with a clean cloth.
Key Considerations:
- Always follow the instructions on the Soak bottle. Concentrations and usage recommendations can vary.
- Test on an inconspicuous area first, especially with delicate or brightly colored fabrics, to ensure colorfastness.
- Soak is designed to be gentle, but it's still important to handle delicate items with care.
