In case of very dirty clothes, rub with Marseille soap the stain, then, along with clothes detergent, add and dissolve in the water (never directly on the fabric) base-oxygen products (sodium perborate). Never pour stain remover directly on fabric.
Use classic clothes detergents for white overall and specific products for color overall (do not use detergents for black clothes).
