STAIN REMOVAL RULES

Stained, heavily-soiled, or greasy items may need to be prewashed or soaked for best results. Soaking helps remove protein-type stains like blood, milk, or grass. Prewashing helps loosen soil before washing.

•Use warm water for soaking or pre-

washing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains.

•Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh. Old or set stains may not come out. Follow package directions for pretreatment products.

•Before treating any stain, find out what kind of stain it is, how old the stain is, what kind of fabric it is, and if the fabric is colorfast. (Check the care label.)

•Washing and drying can set some stains.

•Start with cold or warm water. Hot water can set some stains.

•When bleach is recommended, use a bleach that is safe for the fabric.

•Test stain removers on an inside seam or hidden corner of the item

to see if the color is removed.

•Put the stained area face down on a

paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to the back of the stain. This forces the stain off the fabric instead of through it.

•Meat tenderizer or enzyme presoaks help break down some protein stains so they are easier to remove.
