General Tips

Act quickly! The longer the medicine stain sets in the harder it will be to remove.
Always test any cleaning solution on a small invisible area first. This will ensure that it won’t damage material.
Read the care tag on the article if applicable before beginning the cleaning process.
If using any bleaching solutions never mix chlorine bleach with ammonia. These chemicals create dangerous fumes when combined.
If the stain still isn't coming out, it's best to call a professional cleaner. They have more powerful cleaning solutions and tools to take on really tough stains.
