The
use of the trade name Leotard Mate® has been discontinued and
replaced with the Activewear Mate®
name. The new Mate can be used on leotards, activewear, dancewear,
swimwear, bike shorts, skating dresses, tennis gear, wet suits, crop
tops, boxers and more. Activewear Mate sports a clean citrus fragrance
and has a new
improved formula.
The
bottle says “rinse free”. How can all the dirt be removed
if you don’t rinse?
Our
Mates are formulated to lift out soil and perspiration. The soil is
then kept in suspension rather than deposited on what you are washing.
If you feel you must rinse, simply add a half capful of the Mate you
are using to fresh rinse water.
Definitely.
All the Mates can be used in the washing machine on the delicate cycle.
We suggest using one of our anti-snag wash
bags to protect delicates from the agitator.
Washing
instructions for each Mate are easy to understand and follow. The
washing instructions are located on each bottle and on our convenient
printer-friendly
Mate
washing instructions page.
Are
Activewear Mate and Lingerie Mate effective stain removers?
Definitely.
Both Mates can remove some of the toughest stains. Simply soak the
garment longer. For best results, wash the garment with a Mate as
soon as possible after it is stained.
Can
Hosiery Mate, Lingerie Mate and Activewear Mate be used interchangeably?
You
will get the best results if you use the Mate designed for the type
of clothing you are washing. Hosiery Mate
is engineered to work best on nylon and similar materials. Lingerie
Mate is engineered to clean delicates made with synthetic fabrics.
Activewear Mate’s formula is engineered
to clean heavier synthetic fabrics that may contain cotton or other
fibers. We do not recommend using Lingerie or Activewear Mate on hosiery.
We
suggest using Hosiery Mate on sheer or semi-sheer tights. We recommend
using Activewear Mate on opaque tights
because of the heavier composition of the material.
It’s
possible. When Hosiery Mate is subjected
to extreme changes in temperature, the product tends to exhibit the
symptoms described above. Please be assured that rigorous quality
control standards are implemented during the manufacturing and shipping
processes. Please contact us should this occur.
Sometimes
the solution may separate and settle if the bottle has not been moved
for an extended time. Gently shake Hosiery
Mate. If there is still a problem, please contact us.
