Stain
Treatment
Paint Water-based — Treat by rinsing fabric in cool water while stains are still wet.
Then launder. Dried paint cannot be removed. Oil-based — Pretreat with a
solvent recommended on the paint container. If not available, use mineral spirits.
Rinse. Pretreat with a stain remover or detergent, rinse and launder.
Perspiration Rub dampened stain with detergent. Launder in hot water and chlorine bleach
(if safe for fabric). If the fabric is discolored, you can try to restore it by treating
fresh stains with ammonia or old stains with vinegar.
Rust Apply a commercial rust remover (Whink, Rit, RoVer, etc.) Follow manufacturer’s
directions. Then launder as usual.
Scorching Launder using hot water and chlorine bleach (if safe for fabric). Fabrics can
be damaged by being scorched. If this has happened, you may not be able to
remove the marks.
Shoe Polish Rub dampened stain with detergent. Launder in hot water and chlorine
bleach if safe for fabric.
Soft Drinks Rinse stain with cold water immediately. Launder in warm water and chlorine
bleach if safe for fabric.
Tobacco Dampen stain and rub with bar soap. Rinse. If necessary, soak in an all-fabric
bleach solution. If stain remains, launder with chlorine bleach (if safe for fabric).
Urine Rinse with cold water. Soak with an enzyme soaking product. Launder in hot
water with chlorine bleach (if safe for fabric). If the color of the fabric has
changed, sponging the area with ammonia may restore the color.
Vomit Soak in a solution of one quart warm water, half teaspoon liquid hand
dishwashing detergent, and one tablespoon ammonia (if safe for fabric). Soak
15 minutes. Use sponge to loosen stain. Blot with toweling. Launder in hot water
(if safe for fabric) with an enzyme product.
