Using OxiClean Stain Remover is relatively straightforward. Here's a general guide:
-
Preparation: Check the garment's care label to ensure it's safe for OxiClean treatment. Also, remove any excess stain residue or debris before treating.
-
Mixing: Follow the instructions on the OxiClean packaging for mixing ratios. Typically, you'll dissolve the powder in warm water. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved.
-
Soaking: Submerge the stained item in the OxiClean solution. Ensure the entire stained area is covered. Depending on the severity of the stain, you may soak from a few minutes to overnight.
-
Agitation (if necessary): For tougher stains, you can gently scrub the stained area with a soft brush or cloth while it's submerged in the solution. Be careful not to damage delicate fabrics.
-
Rinsing: After soaking, rinse the garment thoroughly with clean water to remove the OxiClean solution and loosened stain particles.
-
Check: Assess the stain. If it's completely gone, you can proceed to launder the item as usual. If it's still visible, you may need to repeat the process or try alternative stain removal methods.
-
Laundering (if necessary): Once the stain is gone, launder the item as usual according to the care label instructions.
