Use and Care

Stain Removal

Many soils will not become stains if treated promptly. Older stains may be difficult or impossible to remove. Hot water will set some stains, particularly protein- based stains. Use cold or warm water on these before washing in hot water.

WARNING

Never put highly flammable substances like gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, dry-cleaning solvents, etc. into a washer or dryer. Never put articles that have been cleaned with such substances into a washer or dryer. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in a fire, explosion, and/or serious burns or death. All items with these substances on them should be thoroughly hand-washed with a detergent so that no trace of the flammable substances remains. The articles can then be machine washed and/or dried.

When using any kind of a dry-cleaning fluid, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. The fumes should never be inhaled. Use in a well ventilated room away from sparks and flames. Air dry before washing or drying. Dry-cleaning fluid may cause a “ring” to be formed on some permanent press fabrics. This will not wash out. To remove, clean the garment in a coin- operated dry-cleaning unit, or by a professional dry-cleaner.
