The materials you will need
Step-by-step instructions
The website also includes a section on general stain removal tips, as well as a list of products and tools that you may find helpful.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind when using the website:
Always test the stain removal solution in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it does not damage the fabric.
Act quickly to remove the stain. The sooner you treat a stain, the easier it will be to remove.
Do not use heat on a stain, as this can set it.
Blot, do not rub, the stain to prevent it from spreading.
The website also includes a section on how to prevent stains from occurring in the first place.
If you are still having trouble removing a stain, you may need to call a professional cleaner.
