Stain Removal . . .

Many soils will not become stains if treated promptly. Older stains may be difficult or impossible to remove. Hot water 
will set some stains, particularly protein based stains. Use cold or warm water on these before washing in hot water.

Never put highly flammable substances like gasoline, kerosene, waxes, cooking oils, dry-cleaning 
solvents, etc. into a washer or dryer. Never put articles that have been cleaned with such 
substances into a washer or dryer. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in a fire, 
explosion, and/or serious burns or death. All items with these substances on them should be 
thoroughly hand-washed with a detergent so that no trace of the flammable substances remains. 
The articles can then be machine washed and/or dried.

When using any kind of a dry-cleaning fluid, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. The 
fumes should never be inhaled. Use in a well ventilated room away from sparks and flames. Air dry 
before washing or drying. Dry-cleaning fluid may cause a “ring” to be formed on some permanent 
press fabrics. This will not wash out. To remove, clean the garment in a coin-operated dry-cleaning 
unit, or by a professional dry-cleaner.
