    Pre-treat

    Spread the liquid detergent over the custard stain with the pre-treat cap. The cap’s flexible fins can help spread the washing detergent deep into the fibres of the fabric as well as over the surface of the stain.

    Load

    Without rinsing off the liquid detergent, place the garment into the wash along with other similar items. Leaving the washing detergent on the custard stain will give your wash that extra boost of cleaning power.

    You can also use the pre-treat cap to ensure you use the right amount of washing detergent. Just fill it with the correct dose of liquid detergent and place it directly into the drum of your washing machine, on top of your dirty laundry.
