Safe Stain Removal Procedures

 To reduce the risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property,

comply with the basic warnings listed below:

• Read and comply with all instructions on stain removal products.
• Keep stain removal products in their original labeled containers and out of

children's reach.

• Thoroughly wash any utensil used.
• Do not combine stain removal products, especially ammonia and chlorine

bleach. Dangerous fumes may result.

• Never wash items which have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked

in or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable or
explosive substances because they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.

• Never use highly flammable solvents, such as gasoline, inside the home.

Vapors can explode on contact with flames or sparks.

For successful stain removal:

Remove stains promptly.

Determine the kind of stain, then follow the recommended treatment in the
stain removal chart below.

To pretreat stains, use a prewash product, liquid detergent, or a paste made
from granular detergent and water.

Use cold water on unknown stains because hot water can set stains.

Check care label instructions for treatments to avoid on specific fabrics.

Check for colorfastness by testing stain remover on an inside seam.

Rinse and wash items after stain removal.

Do not use or mix liquid

chlorine bleach with other household
chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust
removers, acid or products containing

the washer after the cycle has ended.

children present, leave the door  ajar to prevent odor build up and to  improve
venting of the unit.
