5 Quick and Easy Stain Fighting Tips

Don’t let stains get you down. Keep these simple tips in mind to keep your garments looking fabulous.

Tip #1: Do not rub; blot! Blotting will help pull the stain away from the fabric. Rubbing will push the stain into the fabric and may cause further damage.

Tip #2: After you’ve washed the stained item, double check to make sure the stain has been removed BEFORE placing it in the dryer. Adding heat to a stain can make it a permanent fixture on your favorite garment.

Tip #3: Stains can transfer. Make sure you wash your deeply stained items separately to avoid stains jumping ship to your mark-free clothing.

Tip #4: Check your laundry for stains before washing. It may seem like no brainier, but often stains go unnoticed. Once they make their way through the wash and into the dryer they can make a lasting home on your clothes. Giving a quick once-over before dropping your clothes in the wash can help prevent stains from setting.

Tip #5: Treat right away. Don’t wait until you “get the chance” to remedy the situation. The longer a stain sits, the harder it can be to remove. Applying a treatment right away can make all the difference when trying to save your favorite shirt.
