•

Before treating any garment, always refer to the garment care label for specific instructions.

•

Test colored items in a hidden area of the garment for colorfastness before pretreating.

•

Your best approach to treating stains is to pretreat the garment immediately. Blot liquid spills (such as beverage or sauce stains) and scrape off solids (such as dirt or mud). Work from the outer edge of the stain toward the middle. (If dry-clean only, take to the cleaners within 24-48 hours of the stain.)

•

For most stains, moisten the affected area and pretreat with 2X Ultra Era before adding to the wash. Then wash in the warmest water recommended by the manufacturer for that particular garment/item.

•

Once you launder a stained item, check to see if the stain is completely gone before drying to avoid setting the stain. Set-in stains are more difficult to remove.
