TREATMENT OF STAINS

rStains need to be treated immediately when they are fresh. Usually stains are categorised as absorbed stains, built-up stains, and compound stains.

rAbsorbed stains can be removed by rubbing gently a pad containing a suitable solvent over the stain from outer edge towards center by keeping stained cloth on absorbent fabric.

rBuilt up and compound stains may be removed by first carefully brushing off stained area. Then rub gently with a pad containing solvent from the back of fabric.

rIt is advisable to try out the solvent on hidden part of the garment to verify its effect on cloth.
