Before we treat the stains individually, first some general tips:
1. Always check what your garment is made of before trying to remove a stain with aggressive agents. Delicate fabrics such as silk are best treated with just a damp cloth.
2. Make sure that the stain doesn’t penetrate into the fabric, as this will make it difficult to remove the stain. So, immediately start treating the stain. Don’t put your garment in the washing machine without having treated the stain locally first, because the temperature of the washing machine can actually fixate the stain.
3. Because you want to act as quickly as possible, the first thing you can safely use on (almost) any kind of stain is a damp cloth with lukewarm water. Avoid rubbing, so dab and soak the stain to it from penetrating into the fabric. Then follow up with a special treatment for your type of stain.
4. The Stain Brush from The Laundress can be used instead of a cloth or sponge to avoid causing too much friction. This brush keeps the fibers of your garment in good condition.
Please note: after treating the stains locally, we advise you to wash your garment like you’d normally do – check the washing label to be sure about the washing program.
