Laundry tip of the week.

Common Stain Removal Guide. Part 1

Blood Stain
Rinse or presoak the garment in cold water and wash in cold water with laundry detergent. Do not use chlorine bleach, which can make the stain even worse.


Chewing Gum
Rub the gummy spot with ice to harden it. Scrape away as much of the gum as possible with a dull knife. Saturate what remains with a prewash stain remover, rinse and launder as usual.


Chocolate
Pretreat or prewash the garment in warm water with a cleaning product that contains enzymes. Launder as usual.




Coffee
Sponge with or soak in cold water. Apply a pretreating product on the stain. Wash as usual and air-dry; repeat if stain remains.
