water—approximately 80°F (27°C)—
in a sink or pan. Soak stained area
for 5 minutes and launder in washer.
The Case of the “Invisible” Stain.
Food or cooking oils on your syn­
thetic garments may cause stains
which are virtually invisible and
which you may not notice as you
put your clothes into the washer.
If these stains are not completely
removed in the wash, the oily spots
may pick up dirt from the wash
water. Then they will become very
visible and you may think they were
caused by the wash cycle itself.
Once these spots become visible,
how can you remove them?
® Rub in undiluted liquid detergent
and let stand 30 minutes.
® Re-wash using hottest water the
fabric can stand.
How can you prevent these
“After-You-Wash” stains?
® Increase the amount of detergent
normally used.
® Increase water temperature
where fabric will permit.
® Wash sSynthetic garments more
often.
