I have an old blanket from the 70 from my mother get bequeathed - the typical bright orange) As I have frequently washed, the color was sometime faded. When I then let them dry out, and the sun has me a few spots in bleached, it was pre-renewal period. I've been thinking that the blanket should be as orange as before. Based on the reviews here, but I have fears that I get stuck alone with the oragenen color. That's why I changed my orange mix with coral. The aim was - as I said - to revive the flashy orange! Said - done: I ordered both color and when they arrived, I have first read through the manual. The manual is very good, but in my opinion, insufficient. When working with only one color, and even a packet of color used, so you need additionally 500 gr. Salt. You can see that, unfortunately, only in the Package Leaflet. For me it did not matter, since I had two packs of color. Here you just take the two parcels with the fixer. You can choose between 600 - 1800 grams color material per package. The more weight you take, the (discreet) is the color. You have to give the fixer on the garment first. I have it placed in the drum and just poured it both parcels. The color comes into the chamber for the detergent. I poured both shades together pure. Then you have to take a suitable program (I use 40 degrees / easy care), and off you go. After five minutes, rinsed one liter of water (this is true, whether one takes a packet of color or as in my case two) after. After I had completed the program completely, then I have to fix the color, wash the ceiling again with detergent (this time at 30 degrees delicates). The result then was impressive: The color was perfect and consistently. After that I did (although that was in no instructions!) An empty laundry done so my subsequent Cottons not shine in orange) After this empty laundry I have cleaned the machine. The chamber was slightly discolored, that color I got away with a bleach easily. The rubber seals and I have cleaned - there a lot of color in it didnt quite stuck. The ensuing white laundry, remained white;) All the action has indeed tasted a little time and money, but in my opinion, it has been completely paid off. The ceiling looks great - as good as new :)
