To Remove
Wash in hottest water safe for fabric. If stain remains, soak in warm water and an
all-fabric bleach for 15 to 30 minutes. Rewash. (Old mildew stains are almost
impossible to remove. Mildew fungus destroys or weakens fabrics.) An afternative
to bleach is to treat with salt and lemon juice and dry in direct sunlight. Rinse and
rewash. Mildew may form if wet or damp laundry remains in your washer for
extended periods of time. To prevent mildew, promptly dry laundry after washing.
Treat immediately. Scrape off excess mustard. Sponge with a non-flammable dry
cleaning solvent or a prewash soil and stain remover. Rinse. Work liquid detergent
and a few drops of vinegar into stain. Rinse. If stain remains, apply 3% hydrogen
peroxide. Rinse and wash.

Treat stains while still wet. These paints cannot be removed after they
have dried. Rinse in warm water to flush out paint, sponge with a non-flammable
dry cleaning solvent and then wash.
