Maryland. Q: My jacket has brown stains. Why? A: Recently | received a winter jacket with brown and ‘yellow stains on the ‘cuffs and waistband only. The jacket's fabric was colorfast to drycleaning. Alter examination, we found that the rubber used in the elastic bands } had begun to deteriorate When rubber deteriorates, it releases a gas that contaminates the adjacent fabric. Once this gas contacts atmospheric furnes, it forms brown or yellow stains. The discoloration may not be noticeable before drycleaning. The heat from drycleaning and finishing can make the deterioration more noticeable. Unfortunately, it is difficult to remove these stains by spotting or bleaching. CAROUSEL .
