The key is to jump on that stain as early as possible, the same day is always best. The less time a stain has to soak in, the easier it will be to remove it. Stains include things such as sweat, oils, personal care products, food, beverages, and more. Pre-treat stains with a stain remover, we find “Shout Set in Stain Scrubber" works best, then let the stain remover soak into the stain for about 10-20 minutes. Wash the item according to the fabric care instructions located on the black/white tag located at the bottom of the item, instructions may differ by product. If the stain remains, repeat the steps above. Hang dry the item if possible however, if you must use a dryer do not put the item in the dryer until the stain is removed.
