Fabric Care - Stain Removal Suggestions
The following is a guide to cleaning everyday stains. Always follow manufacturers cleaning instructions.
Often stains can be removed or results improved if blotted up immediately, while still wet or fresh. Use white towels or absorbent cloth. Keep blotting and changing the absorbent material until no more of the spillage or coloured matter is being removed.
Pre-test all solutions on an inconspicuous area. Hold a white towel against the tested area for a few seconds and examine to make sure no colour has transferred. Materialised can take no responsibility for damage caused by use of these suggestions.
When using liquid cleaners work from the outer ring of the stain, toward the centre. If in any doubt, contact a cleaning specialist.
Click over the stain and it will take you to the cleaning suggestions.

Repeat detergent/water application until no stain is evident on towel. Always rinse with clear water to remove traces of detergent and blot dry. Detergent residue tends to attract soiling.
