Article: The faster you get to the wood stain, the more likely it is that you'll be able to remove it. Wash the stained item as soon as you discover the wood stain. If you find the stain and it has already dried, you can still attempt to wash it out. But it might not be as effective. If you rub the stain (especially if it is still wet), you run the risk of making the stain bigger and spreading to other parts of the fabric. Rubbing it can also push the stain deeper into the fibers of the fabric and make it set into the fibers more firmly. If you must rub the stain (in order to clean it, for example), try to rub the stained part of the cloth against itself as best you can, leaving the unstained part alone. If you've got a wood stain on your clothes, you should wear protective gloves as you attempt to remove the stain. This will protect your hands and skin from coming into contact with any potentially harmful stain-removal products. Rubber gloves work best for this kind of protection.
