Can I add a few drops of my favourite essential oil to the laundry liquid if I want a scented wash?
Yes. Please don't add the essential oil directly to the refillable bottle. It's best just to add a couple of drops to the liquid you are adding into your washing machine.
What are your top laundry tips when using L5 Laundry Liquid?
• Always read and follow garment washing instructions.
• Better wash results are obtained with warm to hot water especially on greasy and oily stains. Warmer wash water can also speed up drying times.
• Wash colours separately.
• Blood-stained items should be rinsed with cold water before pre-soaking with L5 Laundry Liquid. It's best to soak for about 4 hours or overnight if required.
• L5 Laundry Liquid is highly recommended on cotton, poly-cotton, polyester and wool. It’s safe to use on colours.
• The quantity of L5 Laundry Liquid required will vary depending on the nature and degree of soiling, as well as the wash temperature.
• Do not use on non-colourfast dyed fabrics. If in doubt, test the colour fastness of garments before use.
