SPECIAL GUIDES FOR 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.
Stain removal rules
• Use warm water for soaking or prewashing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains.
• Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh. Old or set stains may not coconut.
• Before treating any stain, find out what kind of stain it is, how old the stain is, what kind of
fabric it is, and if the fabric is colorfast.(Check the care label)
• Washing and drying can set some stains.
• Start with cold or warm water, hot water can set some stain.
• When bleach is recommended, use a bleach that is safe for the fabric.
• Put the stained area face down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to
the back of the stain. This forces the stain off fabric instead of through it.
