Removing stains

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.

Prewashing or soaking

Use warm water for soaking or prewashing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains.

Stain removal rules

lMost stains are easier to remove when they are fresh. Old or set stains may not come out. Follow package directions for pretreat- ment products.

lBefore treating any stain, find out ...

1.What kind of stain it is.

2.What kind of fabric it is and if it is colorfast. (Check label.)

3.How old the stain is. (Washing and drying can set some stains.)

lStart with cold or warm water. Hot water can set some stains.

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

lTest stain removers on an inside seam or hidden corner of the item to see if the color is removed.

lPut the stained area face down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to the back of the stain. This can force the stain off the fabric instead of through it.

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

. Use nonflammable dry cleaning solvents in a well-ventilated room.
