💡 General Tips for Stain Removal Success:

  • Treat stains ASAP. The longer a stain sets, the harder it is to remove.
  • Always blot, never rub. Rubbing can push the stain deeper into the fibers.
  • Test before applying. If you’re using strong substances like bleach or hydrogen peroxide, do a spot test first—especially on colored fabrics.
  • Air dry until the stain is gone. Heat from the dryer can set a stain permanently, so always air dry and check before tumbling.
