Coffee Stains

Coffee stains are a common occurrence, especially for busy professionals and students. Here's how to handle them:

  1. Blot the Stain: As soon as possible, blot the stain with a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb as much coffee as possible.
  2. Cold Water Rinse: Run cold water through the back of the stain to push the coffee out of the fabric.
  3. Liquid Laundry Detergent: Apply a small amount of liquid laundry detergent directly to the stain and gently rub it in. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Wash: Use our high-efficiency washers to wash the garment in the hottest water safe for the fabric. Our high-speed spin cycles ensure thorough cleaning.

Red Wine Stains

Red wine stains can be particularly stubborn, but with prompt action, they can be removed effectively:

  1. Blot the Stain: Immediately blot the stain with a clean cloth to soak up excess wine.
  2. Salt Treatment: Sprinkle salt generously over the stain to absorb the wine. Let it sit for a few minutes.
  3. Rinse with Cold Water: Rinse the stained area with cold water.
  4. Apply Laundry Detergent: Rub liquid laundry detergent into the stain and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  5. Wash: Use our hot and fast dryers to ensure the stain is thoroughly removed during washing.

Grass Stains

Grass stains can be tricky, especially on kids' clothes. Here's how to tackle them:

  1. Pre-treat with Vinegar: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, then apply to the stain and let it sit for 15 minutes.
  2. Scrub with Detergent: Apply a small amount of liquid laundry detergent to the stain and scrub gently with a soft brush.
  3. Wash: Use our efficient washers to clean the garment in warm water. The high-speed extraction feature will help lift the stain.

Grease Stains

Grease stains from food or machinery can be challenging, but not impossible to remove:

  1. Blot Excess Grease: Use a paper towel to blot as much grease as possible.
  2. Cornstarch or Baking Soda: Sprinkle cornstarch or baking soda on the stain to absorb the grease. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then brush off the powder.
  3. Dish Soap: Apply a small amount of dish soap directly to the stain and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Wash: Our energy-efficient washers will effectively clean the garment. Use the hottest water safe for the fabric.
