ABOUT HOLIDAY STAIN
REMOVAL TIPS
In the excitement of the
holidays there’s bound to be
a spilled liquid or a dripping
candle that can cause a spot
or stain. So plan now to buy a
few basic items to help with
stain removal emergencies.
You will need paper towels,
cleaning fluids, a sponge,
oxygen bleach, chlorine
bleach, petroleum jelly and
an enzyme pre-soak.
The key to stain removal is
immediate treatment. When
company is present and a
spill occurs, use paper
towels to absorb as much of
the liquid as possible. Soak a
sponge in cool water and use
it to remove further traces of
the spill. Later, you can get
down to the business of final
stain removal.
Test any stain remover on
a corner of fabric first to see
how it reacts Treat spots
from the back of the fabric
Place the spot downward on
some paper towels so that
the stain will come off the
fabric instead of going
through it After treatment,
regular laundering will
ususally remove the last
traces of the stain
Here are some special
methods for treating the
most common holiday-type
stains
Sponge fruit stains, in
cluding cranberries, im
mediately with cool water
Later soak in warm water
X'
and enzyme pre-soak. Then
launder If possible, launder
again using chlorine bleach
For gravy or milk stains,
work a paste of detergent
and water into the stain If a
greasy stain remains after
laundering, sponge with a
dry-cleaning solvent Soak
coffee or tea stains in warm
water and an enzyme pre
soak or oxygen bleach and
launder.
For candle wax spots,
scrape off as much wax as
possible. Then place the
stain between layers of
paper towels and press with
a warm iron Next, place the
stain face downward on
paper towels and sponge the
back with drycleaning
solvent Launder when dry
For lipstick spots, rub
undiluted liquid detergent
into the stain until outline of
stain is removed If after
laundering, stain remains,
sponge with drycleaning
solvent
