STAIN TO REMOVE
Mildew Wash in hottest water safe for fabric. lf stain remains, soak in warm water
and an all-fabric bleach for 15 to 30 minutes. Rewash. (Old mikiew stains
are almost impossible to remove. Mildew fungus destroys or weakens
fabrics.) An alternative to bleach is to treat with salt and lemon juice and
dry in direct sunlight. Rinse and rewash. Mildew may form if wet or damp
laundry remains in your washer for extended periods of time. To prevent
mildew, promptly dry laundry after washing.
Mustard Treat immediately. Scrape off excess mustard. Sponge with a nonflam-
mable fabric cleaner or a prewash soil and stain remover. Rinse. Work
liquid detergent and a few drops of vinegar into stain. Rinse. lf stain re-
mains, apply 3% hydrogen peroxide. Rinse and wash.

after they have dried.) Rinse in warm water to flush out paint. Sponge with a

cleaner or treat stain with recommended thinner. While stain is still wet with
solvent, rub liquid detergent into it. Wash with hottest water safe for fabric.
Perspira- Remove stains before ironing. Perspiration stains may weaken fabric. Wash
tion or sponge stain thoroughly with detergent and warm water. If perspiration
has changed the color of the fabric, use one of the following treatments:
