Question

The packaging of Haslett leaves provides detailed instructions for washing the leaves, including washing between the folds, soaking each leaf separately, and using your hand while washing. Is it necessary to be so meticulous? Sometimes there are many folds on a leaf, or connected leaves are soaked by mistake.

Answer

Hello 

You should follow the instructions as much as possible. 

In places where there are many folds, it is impossible to rub everything with a finger, but you should ensure that the stream of water washes the entire leaf.
