The Ultimate Guide to Removing Stains

When it comes to knowing how to remove stains from clothes, it can be overwhelming navigating different types of stains and fabrics. We've got you covered with our ultimate guide to removing different blemishes, from food and drink stains to grass and sweat stains.

A Few Stain Removal Tips to Keep in Mind

Before tackling a particular stain don’t forget to check these factors beforehand.

• Follow Fabric Care Instructions: Refer to these instructions to ensure delicate fabrics are treated correctly.
• Water temperature: Cold water generally works for protein-based stains such as blood, urine, or paint. Delicate fabrics like wool, satin, or silk should also be treated with cold water. Hot water is best for oil-based stains such as chocolate, makeup, or wine.
• Do Not Put Clothes in Dryer Until Stain is Completely Lifted: Apply your stain treatment before placing the item in the washer for best results. Once a stained piece of clothing has been washed and dried, the stain is more difficult to remove.
• Pre-Test to Avoid Bigger Stains: If you're not sure how a fabric will take a stain solution, try it out on a small corner of the clothing first to determine colorfastness.

Whether you’re dealing with barbecue sauce and chocolate or lipstick and wine, our tips will have blemished clothing back to looking their best.
