Stain Removal Secrets from the Pros

Act Quickly
The key to successful stain removal is acting quickly. Fresh stains are much easier to remove than set-in stains. Blot the stain gently with a clean cloth to remove excess liquid.
Common Stains and Solutions
For grease stains, apply a small amount of dish soap directly to the stain. For wine or juice stains, rinse with cold water and apply a mixture of white vinegar and water. For protein-based stains like blood, use cold water and enzymatic cleaners.
Testing First
Always test any stain removal solution on a hidden area of the fabric first to ensure it won't cause damage or discoloration.
Professional Help
For stubborn or delicate stains, professional dry cleaning services can provide expert treatment without risking damage to your clothes.
Prevention
Treat stains immediately and avoid putting stained clothes in the dryer, as heat can set stains permanently.
