Removing Specific Stains
Bleach Solution: To remove stains on white or
bleachable fabrics, try soaking the stained area in a
container for five minutes in the following solution
and then launder in the washer:
■ 1 US gallon (3.8 liters) cool water
■ 1/4 cup (60 ml) chlorine bleach
The invisible stain When They Become Visible:
• Rub the stain with undiluted liquid detergent.
• Let stand 30 minutes.
• Rewash using the hottest water that is safe for the fabric.
Preventing These Stains:
• Increase the amount of detergent used.
• Increase water temperature.
• Wash synthetics often.
Foods on synthetic clothes may
cause stains which are virtually
invisible when you put the
clothes in the washer. If these
stains are not completely
removed in the wash, they may
pick up dirt from other clothes
in the washer and appear after
the clothes are dried.
