Treatment

 

 

Scorching

Wash 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. Wash in hot water and chlorine bleach if safe for

 

fabric.

for fabric.

 

 

Soy Sauce

Rinse with cold water. Apply a pretreat product. Wash as usual.

 

 

Tobacco

Dampen stain and rub with bar soap. Rinse. If necessary, soak in an all-fabric bleach

 

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

 

 

Toothpaste

Scrape off excess. Blot stain with enzyme soaking product and cold water. Rinse. Wash

 

as usual.

 

 

Urine

Rinse with cold water. Soak with an enzyme soaking product. Wash in hot water with

area with ammonia may restore the color.

 

 

Vomit

Soak in a solution of one quart warm water, half teaspoon liquid hand dishwashing

 

detergent, and one tablespoon ammonia (if safe for fabric). Soak 15 minutes. Use
