A Guide to Stain Removal

Pinch and absorb the stain with dry tissue paper as soon as the clothes become stained. Don’t use wet cloth as that would spread the stain. 

First, check the label of the item to see if it is washable at home and how you can wash it. Delicate fabrics such as silk, rayon, and wool, as well as some other materials require special care and are not machine washable. If you are unsure, take it to a professional laundry service.

Normal washing can’t remove these stains as the coloring agents remain in the fibres. First, apply oxygen* bleach and leave it for around 10 minutes. 

Then, simply put it in the washing machine and wash as usual. If the stain doesn’t come out, try soaking it in warm water at around 40°C after applying oxygen bleach.

First, rub cleansing oil into the stain and rinse it off with warm shower water as these stains contain oil, which is not water-soluble, and usual washing does not remove them. 

Rub dishwashing detergent into the stain and rinse with warm shower water. If the stain is caused by oil, the cleansing oil alone can remove the stain, but the cleansing oil itself may also cause a stain. So, it’s often more effective to use dishwashing detergent.

Then, simply put the item in the washing machine and wash as usual. 

First, scrub with a solid stain remover. Stains from the proteins in sweat are difficult to remove by normal washing. 

If there are still stains, apply oxygen bleach* and leave for 10 minutes.

Then, just put the item in the washing machine and wash as usual.
