Removing stains

Stained, heavily soiled or greasy items may
need to be pre-washed or soaked for best
results. 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

• Most stains are easier to remove when they

are fresh. Old or set stains may not come out.

Follow package directions for pretreatment
products.

• 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).

3. How old the stain is (washing and drying

can set some stains).

• Start with cold or warm water. Hot water can

set some stains.

• When bleach is recommended, use a bleach

that is safe for the fabric. Dilute chlorine

bleach.

• Test stain removers on an inside seam or

hidden corner of the item to see if the coior is
removed.

• 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.

• Meat tenderizer or enzyme presoaks help

break down some protein stains so they are
easier to remove.

• Use non-flammable dry cleaning solvents in

a well-ventilated room.
