Important:
Always make sure you read the label on the stained garment before use. If you’re unsure, test on a small, unnoticeable area before application.

Don’t tumble dry: Like most stains, if not fully removed when wet don’t tumble dry the garment as it will set the stain in, making it even harder to remove. If the item needs to dry, let it air dry slowly and away from heat.
