an introduction
We often lose a piece of clothing that has beautiful memories, or a piece of clothing that we consider beautiful and we still like to wear, all because of a spot. The spots lose their shine, make them look unclean or old, and stains that are a bit difficult to spot, but if have been given sufficient attention can be removed and re-sparkling to the piece.
General tips for removing stains on clothing
- The more recent the spot was removed the easier, the dryness of the ink makes it more cohesive with the yarns of cloth.
- Scrub does not fit this type of stains, it should not be rubbed permanently because it works on the spread of the spot, and increase the area rather than besieged.
- Do not expose the piece to heat or pour boiling water on it, because the heat works on the speed of drying the spot, and thus less permeable cloth.
- Read the instructions on the clothing piece and note any note about washing methods.
- If chemicals are added to the clothing to remove stains, they should be washed directly as they may affect the cloth and change its color or lead to corrosion.
- Place a thick cloth or towel under the piece during cleaning so that the other side does not get dirty and the ink moves to it.
- Try any chemical on a hidden part of clothing so as not to lose the piece.
