How to remove stains
1. Try to remove stains as soon as
possible. The fresher the stain, the
easier it is to remove.
2. Before attempting to remove
any stain, take these steps:
● Find the fabric and the finish in
the chart on the next page, and use
only recommended methods.
● Check the care label instructions
that came with the garment.
● Test stain removal product on a
hidden inside seam or on a sample
of the material.
● Avoid use of hot water on
unknown stain. It can set some
stains.
3. Follow stain removal with a
thorough rinsing.
4. Wash with recommended
amount of soap or detergent.

The Case of the “Invisible” Stain.
Food or cooking oils on your
synthetic 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 synthetic garments more
often.
