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.
•Rewash 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.
