Removing stains
Stained, heavily soiled or greasy items may
need to be pre-washed or soaked for best
results. Soaking helps remove protein-type
stains like blood, milk, or grass. Pre-washing
helps loosen soil before washing.
Pre-washing or soaking
Use warm water for soaking or pre-washing
stained laundry. Hot water can set stains.
Stain removal rules
l Most stains are easier to remove when they
are fresh. Old or set stains may not come out.
Follow package directions for pretreatment
products.
l Before treating any stain, find out . . .
1. What kind of stain it is.
2. What kind of fabric it is and if it is
colorfast (check label).

3. How old the stain is (washing and drying
can set some stains).
l Start with cold or warm water. Hot water can
set some stains.
l When bleach is recommended, use a bleach
that is safe for the fabric. Dilute chlorine
bleach.
l Test stain removers on an inside seam or
hidden corner of the item to see if the color is
removed.
l Put the stained area face down on a paper
towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover
to the back of the stain. This can force the
stain off the fabric instead of through it.
l Meat tenderizer or enzyme presoaks help
break down some protein stains so they are
easier to remove.
l Use non-flammable dry cleaning solvents in
a well-ventilated room.
