Stains are 'set' very often, when they get into contact with hot water. So, that is how they get 'washed in'. If you treat them with cold water, and other suitable stain remover BEFORE you put them into the washer (which will be using warm/hot water) then the stain will not be washed in.

Some clothing absorbs stain's worse than other.





For cold beverage stains like iced tea or coffee and soft drinks:


* Immediately blot off excess


* Rinse with cold water from the back


* Do not use bar soap as it may set the stain





For condiment stains with intense color like BBQ sauce, mustard, ketchup, salsa and relishes:


* Treat these stains while fresh or you risk not getting it totally out


* Quickly blot or wipe up the excess


* Rinse with cold water from the back





Suntan lotion


* Quickly blot up excess with a paper towel or cloth, try not to rub hard to avoid pushing the stain further into the fiber


* Pre-treat with a good liquid laundry or dishwashing detergent, rub into stain and wait 5 to 10 minutes

Never wash the stain on the side where it went on? ALWAYS wash it from the back through to the front. That way it doesn't wash into the fabric.
