Stain Removal
Sponge fruit stains, including cranberries, immediately with cool water.
Later soak in warm water and enzyme pre-soak. Then launder. If possible, launder again using chlorine bleach if safe for the fabric.
For gravy or milk stains, like eggnog, work a paste of detergent and water into the stain. If a greasy stain remains after laundering, sponge with a pre-treatment solvent.
Soak coffee or tea stains in warm water in an enzyme pre-soak or all-fabric bleach and launder.
For candle wax spots, scrape off as much wax as possible. Then place the stain between several layers of paper towels and press with a warm iron. Next place the stain face down on paper towels and sponge the back with pre-treatment solvent. Launder when dry. Note: If any color remains, re-launder with bleach that is safe for the fabric.
For lipstick spots, rub undiluted liquid detergent into the stain until the outline of stain is removed. If the stain remains after laundering, sponge with pre-treatment solvent.
Poultry fat (grease) - treat light stains with a pre-treatment spray stain remover and wait a couple of minutes for it to penetrate. Rub with a heavy-duty liquid laundry detergent. Launder. If color stain remains, launder with chlorine bleach if safe for the fabric, or use all-fabric bleach. Always test for color fastness before using bleach. Place heavy stains face down on clean paper towels. Apply dry cleaning fluid to the back of stain. Replace towels frequently. (Carefully read and follow instructions on the product package). Let air dry; rinse. Launder in hottest water safe for the fabric.
