qAbsorbed stains can be removed by rubbing gently a pad
containing a suitable solvent over the stain from outer edge
towards centre by keeping stained cloth on absorbent fabric.
qBuilt 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.
qIt is advisable to try out the solvent on hidden part of the
garment to verify its effect on cloth.
