Stain Removal Hints

Check all linens for stains and pre-treat them before laundering
Patience and time are required when working on stains. There is NO immediate solution
Test all bleaches in an inconspicuous area to avoid damaging colored items
Do not use chlorine bleach on wool or silk – it will dissolve both fabrics
Do not use vinegar on acetate material – it will soften and dissolve acetate
Oily based stains like salad dressing, sauces, etc. should be treated with a solvent prior to laundering. Laundering even without drying may set these types of stains
Use solvents such as Carbona, mineral spirits or other dry cleaning fluids in a well ventilated area. Try to avoid excessive inhalation of the fumes from the solvents
Avoid drying items in the dryer with heat unless stains have been removed
