HOW TO REMOVE STAINS
Some stains cannot be removed by just washing in a washing machine. Before trying to
remove any type of stain by hand, first try the removal procedure on a small area of hidden
fabric starting from the edge of the stain and working inwards, this will prevent a dark ring
from forming around the site of the stain. A few methods for removing stains are reported
below.
