	laundry remains in your washer for extended periods of time. To prevent
	mildew, promptly dry laundry after washing.
Mustard	Treat immediately. Scrape off excess mustard. Sponge with a nonflam-
	mable fabric cleaner or a prewash soil and stain remover. Rinse. Work
	liquid detergent and a few drops of vinegar into stain. Rinse. If stain
