Stain Removal Guide
Act Fast
The sooner you treat a stain, the easier it is to remove. Don't let stains set!
Food & Drink Stains
Blot (don't rub) immediately with clean cloth. Mix mild detergent with cold water, gently dab the stain, rinse with clean water, and lay flat to dry.
Oil-Based Stains
Sprinkle cornstarch or baking soda on the stain to absorb oil. Let sit for 30 minutes, brush off, then hand wash with wool-safe detergent.
Makeup Stains
Use a gentle makeup remover on a cotton pad, dab carefully, then hand wash the area with mild soap and cold water.
