How do you remove stains from clothes?

Answer 1

Removing stains depends on what created the stain. Look for directions on removing the type of stain you have, but these instructions are a good starting point.

First get as much of the stain up as possible by blotting or scraping. Then rinse the stain in cool water and pretreat it. Wash the clothing in cold water.

Answer 2

There are many types of stains, so there are many right answers. Here are some examples, but try looking up your specific stain. Proteins wash away fastest if you rinse it in cold water and pretreat it with something like OxyClean. Dyes are difficult to wash away, so you should pretreat it and rinse it with the hottest water that fabric will allow. Oils come loose when pretreated with a liquid detergent.

Answer 3

Try Resolve spray. It got ink pen out of my white pants in a matter of seconds.
