stains are almost impossible to remove. Mildew fungus destroys or

prevent mildew, promptly dry laundry after washing.

after they have dried.) Rinse in warm water to flush out paint. Sponge with
a nonflammable fabric cleaner. Rinse. Wash.

cleaner or treat stain with recommended thinner. While stain is still wet
with solvent, rub liquid detergent into it. Wash with hottest water safe
for fabric.

Wash or sponge stain thoroughly with detergent and warm water. If
perspiration has changed the color of the fabric, use one of the following

ammonia odor.
