Stains

For the safe removal of stains; always use the least invasive product first, before stepping up to something stronger.

The first thing you should do upon discovering a stain is to act immediately. Don’t wait because heat and/or time will just cause the stain to set in deeper, resist the urge to rub it in this will make it much harder to remove. Be patient, some stains respond slowly, all stains and spills cannot be removed due to differences in fibres, dyes, construction, finishes, composition etc, it would also depend on the length of time the stain has remained on the article, etc. Be cognizant that some liquids will leave behind a pigmentation that will dye the material, which may be impossible to remove and may require professional treatment.

Before deciding upon treatment, you should first access what ‘type’ of stain it is, before a stain can be removed the surface tension that bonds it must be released, then the stain encapsulated and held in suspension to be removed.
