How do I pre-soak?
Steps
Fill a tub or sink with 5 litres of lukewarm water.
Add 2 pumps (8 mL) of Sensitive Laundry Liquid and mix through.
Submerge garments fully and soak for up to 2 hours.
Wash as normal in your machine.
✓ Why pre-soaking helps
The enzyme blend (including protease, amylase, mannanase, and lipase) begins breaking down protein, starch, and oily stains during the soak phase, helping loosen stubborn grime before the main wash cycle.
⚠ Good to know
Always follow garment care instructions. Not suitable for protein-based fibres such as wool or silk. Don't soak garments for longer than recommended.
