Removing
stains
Stained, heavily soiled or greasy items may need
to be pre-washed
or soaked for best resufts.
Soaking helps remove protein-type
stains like
blood, milk or grass. Pre-washing
helps loosen
soil before washing.
Pre-washing
or soaking
Use warm water for soaking or pre-washing
stained laundry. Hot water can set stains.
Stain
removal
rules
l
Most stains are easier to remove when they are
fresh. Old or set stains may not come out.

products.
l
Before 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).

guide
3. How old the stain is (washing and drying can
set some stains).
l
Start with cold or warm water. Hot water can set
some stains.
l
When bleach is recommended,
use a bleach
that is safe for the fabric. Dilute chlorine bleach.
l
Test stain removers on an inside seam or
hidden comer of the item to see if the color is
removed.
l
Put 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.
l
Use non-flammable
dry cleaning solvents in a
well-ventilated
room.
