Identification of a Stain
Sight: By looking carefully at the stain, to identify if it is

absorbed or built-up stain.
Odour: To smell the stain, especially after giving it a

light steam treatment, you will come to know what type of
stain it is.
Colour: It also gives an important clue on the nature of

stain and the agents causing it.
Identification of a Stain
Feel: By running your hand/fingers over the stain to

feel its stiffness, especially of a built-up stain.
Location: it helps to pinpoint the cause of stain.

Perfume stains are usually located on the lapels of
garments or under the arms.
Importance of Immediate Action
Stains should be treated immediately so as to

prevent them from spreading as well as from being
absorbed by the fabric.
The action involves sponging or washing the stain

with water or mild detergent solution.
General Rules of Stain Removal
1. Always treat the stain immediately.
2. If a stain is not removed after immediate action, then

specific removal may be required. Before attempting
specific removal, first ascertain the nature of the fabric,
the nature of the stain, age of the stain, colour of the
fabric, etc.
3. Select appropriate stain removal reagents and methods

accordingly. Before attempting stain removal, check the
reaction on the fabric and the reagent also.
4. Always start with the mildest method and reagent,

gradually progressing to stronger methods and
reagents
5. Stretch the stain over a pad of clean white

absorbent cloth with a piece of clean cotton wool,
apply the reagent on the stain.
6. Start applying the reagent to the outer edge of the

stain and work towards the centre. This prevent the
stain from spreading as well as formation of a ring.
7. Sponging is preferable to soaking and rubbing

with the reagent.
8. Rubbing and washing instantaneously is preferred

to soaking and then washing.
9. Always neutralize the effect of every chemical used

by thoroughly rinsing the reagent at each step before
attempting the use of another method or reagent.
10. The need of professional help if required should

be ascertained at the time of stain removal.
General Rules for Removal of Unknown Stain
1. Soak stain in lukewarm salted water for minimum half an

hour.
2. If stain persists, wash in lukewarm synthetic detergent

solution.
3. If stain still persists, wash in lukewarm enzyme detergent

solution.
4. If stain still persists, use hot synthetic detergent solution to

activate sodium perborate, which is an oxidizing bleaching
agent.
General Rules for Removal of Unknown Stain
5. Use solvent on still persisting stains.
6. If stain is not removed work with mild acidic

solution progressing towards strong acidic solution.
7. If stain does not go, use alkaline progressing

towards strong alkaline solution.
