	Use and Care
Stain	Treatment
Ink	Saturate the stain with hair spray or place the fabric face down on paper towel and
	sponge with cleaning fluid or rubbing alcohol (refer to WARNING on page 15). Rinse.
	If traces of the stain remain, rub detergent into the dampened stain and launder. Some
	inks may be impossible to remove.
Iodine	Rinse from the back side of the stain with cold water. Then soak in a commercial color
	remover (Rit, Putnam, etc.) or rub in a paste of water and starch. Let stand for
	15-30 minutes and launder.
Lipstick	Place on paper towel and sponge with cleaning fluid (refer to WARNING on page 15).
	Rinse. Rub dampened stain with bar soap and launder.
Mildew	Treat promptly. Mildew damages fabric and sometimes cannot be removed. Launder
	with chlorine bleach. For items that cannot be washed with chlorine bleach, soak in an
	all-fabric bleach, then launder.
Milk and Milk Products	Soak in cold water. Launder in hot water and chlorine bleach (if safe for fabric). Sponge
	with a cleaning fluid (refer to WARNING on page 15), if a stain is noticeable. Rewash.
Miscellaneous	Place stain side down on paper towel and sponge with dry-cleaning fluid (refer to
Eye and Face Make-up,	WARNING on page 15). Apply dry spotter (one part mineral water and eight parts dry-
Tar, Gravy, Felt-Tip Marker,	cleaning solvent). Tap on the stain with a spoon to loosen it. Keep stain moist with dry
Pitch, Typewriter Ribbon	spotter and blot occasionally with toweling. Continue until stain is removed. Allow to
	dry completely, rinse in warm water, and launder as usual.
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.

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