Having washed guests' white bedlinen and towels I have found yellow stains (again). Unfortunatley not visible until washed then left with a creamy yellow stain. I think it is caused by the high factor creams.

 We managed to lose one of the little brass ring things that you pass the nylon cable through.  No one can replace it!!  We contacted the agri centre from where we had bought it - too new a machine, didn't have any.  We e-mailed manufacturer quoted on instruction book, referred us to local supplier.  Local supplier spent days trying to source it but had to admit defeat.  We have resorted to using similar sized rings - fell out after a couple of hours use.  We then bought a whole new head - machine works but not as efficient.  Shame because it used to get the job done.  We haven't given up yet but would recommend anyone considering spending nearly €400 on this particular machine that they first check with the retailer if they stock spare thingys that you thread the nylon cutting reel through - if you find any let us know :)
