Removing stains from clothes
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.
• Before treating any stain, find out what kind of stain it is, how old the
stain is, what kind of fabric it is, and whether the fabric is
colourfast(Check the care label).
• 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.
• 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.
