"The Dist on Stains"

Never rub a stain, by doing so.
you may cause the substance
to set on the fabric. making it
more difficult to remove. The
abrasive action of rubbing also
causes the fibers to weaken
and may cause colour damage
on some fabrics.

Always blot a stain with a
clean cloth. If the garment is
machine washable. use a
liquid detergent and wash
according to care label
instructions. If you are wary
about removing your own
stain. ask your drycleaner for
advice.

Do not pre-treat “Dryclean
Only” garments. Take these
garments directly to your local
Sanitone Drycleaner for
professional care.
