Stain Removal
Prompt attention to stains and spots is important, as they are hard
to remove if allowed to "set."
Always proceed with stain cleaning steps in this order:
1. Remove excess of stain
2. Use a water soluble solvent
3. Use a water based detergent
4. Rinse with water
5. Pat dry, or dry with fan or hair dryer set to "cool"
Other Important Details:
• Use only cool or lukewarm water. Avoid hot water since it often
sets stains permanently.
• Rule of thumb: never soak a fabric when cleaning it. Apply
solvents and cleaning solutions as sparingly as possible.
• Work carefully from the edges of the spot toward the center to
avoid enlarging the stain.
• A blotting action is preferable to a rubbing technique for stain
removal. Avoid harsh rubbing.
• Fast drying helps prevent rings.
Note: If the above does not work, or the stain is large and unusual, you
should have it treated by a reputable professional cleaning service.
