Getting stains out of clothes is a common problem for many people. But when you’re dealing with an expensive designer garment, such as Armani, it becomes even more important to get the stain out quickly and effectively. Fortunately, getting grease and oil stains out of Armani is fairly straightforward.
Instructions
- Use a dry spotter to blot the stain and absorb as much of the oil or grease as possible. This includes things like talcum powder, cornstarch, baking soda and salt.
- Check the care label, and if it's not dry clean only, you can use a liquid detergent to spot wash the stain. Dilute the detergent in cold water, then rub it into the stained area using a soft toothbrush.
- Rinse the affected area with cold water. Repeat process if necessary.
- If the label says dry clean only, take the garment to your nearest dry cleaner.
Things to Avoid
- Do not put the garment in the washing machine and do not use a heat treatment (ironing, for example) on the affected area. This will only make the stain set in.
- Do not use hair spray, rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, acetone, vinegar, bleach or any other harsh chemical on the garment as this may damage both garment and fabric.
Tips
- To prevent the stain from setting, act quickly. As soon as you notice the stain, blot it with a dry spotter.
- If possible, rinse the stain with cold water after spot treating it. This will help loosen the stain and make it easier to remove.
Conclusion
Removing stains from expensive designer garments, such as Armani, can be a tricky business. However, with a few simple steps, you can get grease and oil stains out of your Armani cloths. Just remember to spot treat the stain first, use a liquid detergent if garment isn't dry clean only, and don’t apply any harsh chemicals.
