use the shortest wash cycle on your machine temp 30 or less if possible .I've been using persil purple for years in our home with no spoiling of colours , add the vinegar in with the detergent liquid. If you still have problems Mr Muscle SHOUT stain remover is the next step , this is my go to for all kinds of stains as it doesn't damage fabric or colours . I'm guessing your are talking about about salt tide marks on your dastar , my bro used to have the same problem when he was working in a hot environment .

I recently saw a facebook post of a UK singh who had committed suicide and it made me wonder what makes these people take their own lives when they have so much to life for. And this was not the only case in recent years there was a sikh girl recently who took her own life cos of not getting good enough exam grades for the uni course she wanted. There was a case of a young punjabi schoolboy taking his life after being bullied and cruelly taunted about being a pedo. And I remember another case of a singh taking his own life fear years ago because of family problems. I think there is a huge issue in our community where they are being brainwashed by false expectations and aspirations of what success is, false ideologies such as creeping backward hindu punjabi beliefs / superstitions, family pressures/problems, financial/job pressures and taking of drug alcohol intoxicants which is leading to a rise in people falling into depression and taking their own lives especially British punjabi men. The male suicide rate is often much higher than females in most communities. We should try to help more the mentally vulnerable in our community. Though its not usually easy for people to open up about problems when most our pendu people just want to laugh or critise if a guy is feeling emotionally weak due to something but has to maintain a strong face or front.

I agree that an attack on Syria by the US is generally bad. But you may want to consider some interesting facts: -The US gave notice to Russia before the attack. I can't imagine a situation in which the Russians, having received notice, would not have informed Syria. So, in effect, the US informed Syria before the attack. -Despite having lobbed 59 Tomahawk missiles, the US did not destroy the runway. i would think that if 59 missiles were dispatched randomly, at least 1 would have cratered the runway, but no. So I can't help but to think that the runway was deliberately protected. -Russia has deployed a airdefense system which was well within range of the missiles. Yet the Russians did not activate their defense. -The Tomahawk missiles were slated to be decommissioned anyway. -Finally, the "attack" was so inconsequential that airplanes are already taking off from the runway, a day after the attack. It's hard to come to any other conclusion that the "attack" was no attack at all, but rather an orchestrated drama to fool the warmongers crying for the destruction of Syria. If Trump had done nothing, the din of warmongering would have become deafening. Now, they have been silenced. I think Trump has outsmarted the warmongers.

I originally put on the Persil link, but here it is again if it's of any help: https://www.persil.com/uk/laundry/laundry-tips/stains/3-top-tips-on-how-to-remove-sweat-stains-from-clothes.html

No problems veer ji another tip if you are washing more than one dastar at a time get some laundry mesh bags to keep them from wrapping and knotting around each other in the machine .

who arranged the rista ? can they be reached and help in this situation? Honestly if This someone has brought you here have you got your visa to stay or not ?

When i was young and i relied on my mum to do the washing, she use to put some washing powder (non-bio) in a bucket with warm water and soak the pagh for an hour or two and then rinse in cold water and just hand them to dry, i still do this, might seem a little old skool but it does the trick and the material tends to fade less, it also depends on the material you use, i use f-74 mal mal so you have to be a little more careful because it's not has heavy as other materials.

Vaheguru! Thank you for this. I use the liquid non-bio Persil. I will try the colour friendly biological one with vinegar as per your suggestion. A quick question though, when adding the white vinegar, do you add it into the actual machine (where the clothes go) or where the liquid goes? Much appreciated.

Yes I was thinking too about the non bio fading the colour. And the natural ingredient of vinegar would be better than the strong bleaching agents. I've amended my post and deleted the links as they seem OTT.

non-bio usually has extra bleaching agents to tackle stains so will fade a dark dastar My suggestion is liquid colour-friendly biological /delicates detergent and half cup of white vinegar ,wash as per normal , the smells and stain should be released from the material (another plus is the vinegar will help colour retention) . use lukewarm (kosa) water temp. Don't use lemon juice as may bleach when drying if hit by sun .

Also the collusion of other sikh kingdom states south of the sutlej with the British imperialists like pataila enabled the downfall of the glories of the Sikhs military and political power. Perhaps had Maharajah Ranjit Singh and his clan were abit more accommodating to other Sikh rulers instead of imposing and threatening his rule over them they would not have sided and sought protection with foreign enemy invaders. As the old punjabi saying goes if Sikhs never killed another Sikh..... Sikhs would never be defeated. Unity is our strength and the enemy knows this so they divide us into sects/jatha/castes and rule over us.

No I am not complaining I am the one highlighting and exposing their hypocrisy and zionist bankster rich world take over agenda and your complaining we should all bury our heads in the sand to the affairs of non-sikhs, which I showed how it effects us all especially in issues like what happened in 1947, 1984. And when I talk of and use the term "Zionist banksters" it is not because I have political alignment to Palestinians or israelis. Its just political facts that the western military and political industrial and economic complex is run by zionists. If arab Islamists were funding the western wars in various parts of the world I do and would call them out too. But we know that all or most wars are funded by this rich small zionist oligarch group of people
