Stain
Treatment
Crayon
Treat the same as candle wax (see Page 15) or wash in hot water (if safe for fabric) using 
soap (not a detergent) and one to two cups baking soda. If stains remain, professional 
dry-cleaning may be necessary.
Deodorants and 
Anti-Perspirants
Some of these products contain substances that can change the color of some dyes. The 
color can sometimes be restored if the area is sponged with ammonia then rinsed. To 
remove stains, apply white vinegar. Rub. Rinse. If stains remain, rub detergent into stain 
and laundry with hot water and chlorine bleach (if safe for fabric).
Dye
Treat with a commercial dye remover (Rit, Putnam) or if safe for fabric, bleach with 
chlorine bleach.
Egg
If dried, scrape off excess. Soak in cold water. Rub detergent into damp stain and if safe 
for fabric, launder in hot water and chlorine bleach.
Fabric Softener
Dampen stain and rub with bar soap. Launder as usual.
Fruit Juices
Soak in cold water. Launder in hot water with chlorine bleach (if safe for fabric).

Place face down on paper towel and sponge with dry-cleaning fluid (see WARNING on 
Page 15). Dampen stain with water and rub with bar soap or detergent. Launder in hot 
water (if safe for fabric).
Ink
Saturate the stain with hair spray or place the fabric face down on paper towel and 
sponge with cleaning fluid or rubbing alcohol (see WARNING on Page 15). Rinse. If 
traces of the stain remain, rub detergent into the dampened stain and launder. Some inks 
may be impossible to remove.
Iodine
Rinse from the back side of the stain with cold water. Then soak in a commercial color 
remover (Rit, Putnam, etc.) or rub in a paste of water and starch. Let stand for 15-30 
minutes and launder.
Lipstick
Place on paper towel and sponge with cleaning fluid (see WARNING on Page 15). 
Rinse. Rub dampened stain with bar soap and launder.
Mildew
Treat promptly. Mildew damages fabric and sometimes cannot be removed. Launder

all-fabric bleach, then launder.

spotter and blot occasionally with toweling. Continue until stain is removed. Allow to 
dry completely, rinse in warm water, and launder as usual.
