Stain
Removal...
Many soils will not become stains if treated promptly. Older stains may be difficult or impossible to remove. Hot
water will set some stains, particularly protein based stains. Use cold or warm water on these before washing in
hot water.

etc. into a washer or dryer. Never put articles that have been cleaned with such substances into a

serious burns or death. All items with these substances on them should be thoroughly hand-
