Use and Care

Stain

Treatment

 

 

Mud

Scrape off excess. Soak in solution of one quart warm water, half teaspoon liquid

 

hand dishwashing detergent and one tablespoon vinegar for 15 minutes. Rinse.

 

Launder in hot or warm water with enzyme product.

 

 

Mustard

Rub dampened stain with bar soap. Launder in hot water and chlorine bleach (if safe

 

for fabric).

 

 

Nail Polish

Place face down on paper towel. Sponge with nail polish remover (non-oily) until

 

stain disappears. Launder. Do not use nail polish remover on Acetate or Arnel fabrics.

 

 

Paint

Water-based – Treat by rinsing fabric in cool water while stains are still wet. Then

 

launder. Dried paint cannot be removed.

 

Oil-based – Pretreat with a solvent recommended on the paint container. If not

 

available, use mineral spirits. Rinse. Pretreat with a stain remover or detergent, rinse

 

and launder.

 

 

Perspiration

Rub dampened stain with detergent. Launder in hot water and chlorine bleach (if safe

 

for fabric). If the fabric is discolored, you can try to restore it by treating fresh stains

 

with ammonia or old stains with vinegar.

 

 

Rust

Apply a commercial rust remover (Whink, Rit, RoVer, etc.). Follow manufacturer’s

 

directions and launder as usual.

 

 

Scorching

Launder using hot water and chlorine bleach (if safe for fabric). Fabrics can be

 

damaged by being scorched. If this has happened, you may not be able to remove the

 

marks.

 

 

Shoe Polish

Rub dampened stain with detergent. Launder in hot water and chlorine bleach (if safe

 

for fabric).

 

 

Soft Drinks

Rinse stain with cold water immediately. Launder in warm water and chlorine bleach

 

(if safe for fabric).

 

 

Tobacco

Dampen stain and rub with bar soap. Rinse. If necessary, soak in an all-fabric bleach

 

solution. If stain remains, launder with chlorine bleach (if safe for fabric).

 

 

Urine

Rinse with cold water. Soak with an enzyme soaking product. Launder in hot water

 

with chlorine bleach (if safe for fabric). If the color of the fabric has changed,

 

sponging the area with ammonia may restore the color.

 

 

Vomit

Soak in a solution of one quart warm water, half teaspoon liquid hand dishwashing

 

detergent, and one tablespoon ammonia (if safe for fabric). Soak 15 minutes. Use

 

sponge to loosen stain. Blot with toweling. Launder in hot water (if safe for fabric)

 

with an enzyme product.
