3 Stain removal rules

1. Act quickly.

Fresh stains make stain removal an easy task. Give yourself the upper hand by treating stains as promptly after they happen as possible. If your stains are on a non-washable fabric, take them to the dry cleaners as soon as possible. Be sure to point out the stain to the dry cleaner and describe the nature of the stain. This makes the likelihood of stain removal success greater.

2. Follow the directions.

Follow the directions on any stain removal products you use. Don’t forget to follow washing directions on the stained clothes. Getting the stain out, won’t make much difference if you ruin the clothing in the process.

3. Test in a hidden area.

Don’t forget to test any stain removal methods on a hidden seam or other inconspicous spot. You want to check for colorfastness before applying a treatment to a large or noticeable area of the clothing. Do not use if the color changes.  [housekeeping]
