Wash in hottest water safe for fabric. If stain remains, soak in warm water and an

all-fabric bleach for 15 to 30 minutes. Rewash. (Old mildew stains are almost

impossible to remove. Mildew fungus destroys or weakens fabrics.) An alterna-

and rewash. Mildew may form if wet or damp laundry remains in your washer for

extended periods of time. To prevent mildew, promptly dry laundry after washing.

Treat immediately. Scrape off excess mustard. Sponge with a non-flammable dry

cleaning solvent or a prewash soil and stain remover. Rinse. Work liquid deter-

gent and a few drops of vinegar into stain. Rinse. If stain remains, apply 3%

hydrogen peroxide. Rinse and wash.

they have dried. Rinse in warm water to flush out paint, sponge with a non-

flammable dry cleaning solvent and then wash.

Oil base: Scrape off fresh paint. Sponge with a non-flammable dry cleaning

solvent or treat stain with recommended thinner. While stain is still wet with

solvent, rub liquid detergent into it. Wash with hottest water safe for fabric.

sponge stain thoroughly with detergent and warm water. If perspiration has
