How to Remove a Fresh Stain From Clothes

To remove a fresh stain, dab off the excess, apply a stain remover, let it sit briefly, wipe, then wash. Speed matters, because fresh stains lift more easily than set-in ones.

Step by step

1. Dab, do not rub. Use a clean tissue to lift away the excess. Rubbing pushes it deeper into the fabric.
2. Spray. Use a stain remover from a short distance, like a perfume.
3. Wait a moment, then wipe. Work from the outside of the stain inwards.
4. Repeat if needed, then wash as usual.

What if the stain has dried?

It may need repeat treatment and a full wash. No spray can promise to undo every set-in stain.
