Within each of these processing groups, the
work should be sorted into light/medium/heavy
weight, the best load combination consisting of items
with the same or similar drying characteristics. It
would be preferable, too, to differentiate roughly between
light and dark colors.
Heavily soiled or grease stained areas should be
pre-treated by simple pre-spotting with LANADOL
AVANT, using PRENETT A-B-C for special staining.
Where non-color-fastness is suspected, a
dye-fastness check (seam test) should be made with a
damp white cotton cloth.
After the relevant program is selected, the process
runs fully automatically. The exact amount required
of the special cleaning and fibre protection
agent LANADOL AKTIV is added automatically at
precisely the right time.
A fibre protection agent, providing retexturing
and antistatic finish for drying, is also added automatically.
Following spin-drying, woollen textiles have a
particularly low residual moisture content of about
30%. After selection of the program suitable for the
