No. Time, warm water, and drying the garment before the stain is removed can set stains in.

How do you remove stains of Parker ink from shirts?

There is permanent and non-permanent ink. Do not use hot water as it will set the stain making it much harder to remove. First try to remove it with cold water. Try to get only the stained part of the shirt wet or the water will help the stain to spread. Repeated rinsing may gradually remove most of the stain. If that doesn't work and it is a white shirt, try using regular bleach in tiny amounts on the stain. That may also help. You can buy various stain removal product in stores that can help get rid of the stain but you have to read the label ad follow instructions carefully. You can also try a dry cleaning store. Many competent dry cleaning stores also have experience removing stains


How do you remove dye stains that got in your clothes from laundering them?

Don't put it in the dryer or iron it before treating the stain if it can be helped. Heat helps set the dye stain in further. If it is too late for that, no worries. You can still try to save it. RIT dye makes a dye remover. You add it to a sinkful of hot water and hand wash the stained item. When you are done, you throw it in the washer and it is usually fine. They make a separate remover for red dyes that have bled in the wash. I have used it before and it worked great for me. It was simple and there was no trace of the red dye stain left when I was done. I recall it ran somewhere around $2 or 3 US.

How do you clean chocolate off fabric?

Hot water is the worst possible thing for stains. Hot water will cause the stain to set, making it permanent. If you spill coffee, spaghetti sauce, chocolate, anything like that on your clothes, you need to rinse it immediately with ice water. Then use a pre-treater, like Oxi-Clean or those Tide stain pens. THEN you put it in the wash. If the ice water and the pre-treater get the stain completely out, then you can use a regular setting. If the stain is still visible at all, then use the cold water setting.


How do I remove a a blood stain from furniture?

Hydrogen peroxide. Take a cotton ball and put Hydrogen Peroxide (right from the brown bottle) on the ball and squeeze out the excess. Then gently rub the blood stain in a back and forth motion until all the blood is removed. Once removed, take another cotton ball and saturate with cool water and rinse the area with that. Wash it all out as soon as possible in the washing machine on cold/cold. NEVER wash any stain in HOT or put the item in the dryer before the stain is removed. That will set the stain. You may be able to get a dried stain out however by using this method. Never use bleach; it will yellow the item permanently.

Best way to remove baby food stains from clothes?

Many foods are proteins, so do not use hot water, which can set protein stains more strongly into a fabric. Scrape off as much of the food as you can, then pretreat any stains made by mustard, cherries, milk or any food you think is likely to stain. Wash the linen in cool water.


How do you get pasta sauce out of clothing?

If the stain has been washed and dried...then you may be stuck with it, but if it is a new stain...I use Mean Green on my family's and my clothes and removes stains better then most stain removers, it is really good at removing greasy food stains. You can find it in the same sections as the 409 (which I used to use on stains until I switched to Mean Green). Blot the stain immediately, then run cold water through the BACK of the stain. Then apply liquid soap/detergent and work it in. Rinse and repeat until stain is gone; you may add a step of bleach or lemon or vinegar if fabric is white. The key seems to be to repeat until stain is gone without letting fabric dry! Once fabric dries, the stain sets.
