- 2Treat each stainSpray the matching bottle, wait 1–3 minutes. Pro Formula in a well-ventilated area, never near the hob or an open flame.
- 3Wash as the label saysChef whites are often polycotton that can take a warm wash: follow the label. Wash heavily greasy kit separately, and check before drying.
Keeping chef whites white
Treat stains every day rather than letting them pile up, and don't leave dirty whites in a bag overnight. Wash whites only with whites, and don't overload the machine. Never use chlorine bleach on curry or turmeric: it can turn the stain orange.
Top tips
- Keep spray bottles in the staff room, well away from the cooking line.
- Aprons and tea towels with heavy fat: treat with Pro Formula and wash them separately.
- Check the stain has gone before tumble drying or ironing.
