TIPS
* Never iron fabric with a deodorant stain, as this will permanently damage the fabric.
* Be very careful not to get suntan oils on garments as many of them will permanently stain.
* Do not attempt to remove cosmetic stains yourself, as the color in cosmetics runs easily and enlarges the stain.
* Never wash an egg stain in hot water - this will cause the stain to set.
*The safest form of mild bleach for whitening all natural fibers is white vinegar.
*A common fatal error is the use of acetone in home stain removal. Acetate fibers will dissolve in acetone - Don't attempt your own stain removal.
*Some water spots on fabrics such as taffeta or silk can be removed by holding the fabric over steam (as from a kettle) and then ironing gently while damp.
*If the stain is still wet, do not rub it, or you will spread it. Simply try and absorb excess moisture with paper towel or cotton towel.
