How to remove stains

1. Try to remove stains as soon as possible. The fresher the stain, the easier it is to remove.

2.Before attempting to remove any stain, take these steps:

●Find the fabric and the finish in the chart on the next page, and use only recommended methods.

●Check the care label instructions that came with the garment.

●Test stain removal product on a hidden inside seam or on a sample of the material.

●Avoid use of hot water on

unknown stain. It can set some stains.

3.Follow stain removal with a thorough rinsing.

4.Wash with recommended amount of soap or detergent.

The Case of the “Invisible” Stain.

Food or cooking oils on your synthetic garments may cause stains which are virtually invisible and which you may not notice as you put your clothes into the washer.

If these stains are not completely removed in the wash, the oily spots may pick up dirt from the wash water. Then they will become very visible and you may think they were caused by the wash cycle itself.

Once these spots become visible,

how can you remove them?

●Rub in undiluted liquid detergent and let stand 30 minutes.

●Re-wash using hottest water the fabric can stand.

How can you prevent these “After-You-Wash” stains?

●Increase the amount of detergent normally used.

●Increase water temperature where fabric will permit.

●Wash synthetic garments more often.
