Removing stains

Stained, heavify soiled or greasy items may need to be pre-washed or soaked for best results. Soakfng helps remove protein-type stains like blood, milk or grass. Pre-washing helps loosen soil before washing.

Pre-washing or soaking

Stain removal rules

l Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh. Old or set stains may not come out. Follow package directions for pretreatment products.

lBefore treating any stain, find out ...

1.What kind of stain ft is.

2.What kind of fabric it is and if it is colorfast (check label).

3.How old the stain is (washing and drying can set some stains).

l Start with cold or warm water. Hot water can set some stains.

l When bleach is recommended, use a bleach that ls safe for the fabric. Dilute chlorine bleach.

l Test stain removers on an inside seam or hidden comer of the ftem to see if the color is removed.

lPut the stained area face down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to the back of the stain. This can force the stain off the fabric instead of through it.

l Meat tenderizer or enzyme presoaks help break‘ down some protein stains so they are easier to remove.

. Use non-flammable dry cleaning solvents in a well-ventilated room.
