Safety with Stain Removers
Okay, so you have a stain you want to get out. Let’s be smart about it and set some ground rules. Don’t laugh you would be surprised at some of the laundry horror stories we’ve seen or heard about. Maybe we’ll tell you about them sometime. On to our tips…
Stain removal safety tip #1
Any material which has been used with cleaning solvents – or is saturated with flammable liquids, solids, vegetable oil or animal fats – should not be placed in the washer or dryer until all traces of the stain and fumes have been removed. These highly flammable stains can cause fires when the residue coexists with heat generated in the laundering process.
Stain removal safety tip #2
Do not mix or combine stain removal products, especially ammonia and chlorine bleach; noxious fumes may result.
Stain removal safety tip #3
Read instructions on all stain removal products and keep them out of children’s reach.
