Tip 1: Blot the Stain
Once you notice a pet stain on your shirt, use a cloth or white paper towel to gently blot area. Don't rub the material, as this could spread the stain further.
Tip 2: Pretreat the Stain
Once you’ve blotted the stain, spray a pretreater on the stain. Make sure you read the instructions on bottle to ensure best results! Leave the pretreater on for several minutes before washing.
Tip 3: Wash as Quickly as Possible
Once you’ve pretreated the stain, make sure you get the garment in the washing machine as quickly as possible. The longer the stain is allowed to sit, the harder it will be to remove.
Tip 4: Use Cold Water
When washing garment, always use cold water. Hot water can set stain, making it nearly impossible to remove.
Tip 5: Use an Oxygen-Based Stain Remover
Make sure you use an oxygen-based stain remover in addition to your usual laundry detergent. Spray the stain remover on the affected area and let it sit for several minutes before washing.
Tip 6: Air Dry
Once garment is washed, air dry it to prevent any damage caused by heat of the dryer. Inspect the shirt to make sure the stain has been removed before throwing it in the closet.
Tip 7: Repeat as Needed
If the stain is still present after the first wash, repeat steps two through six until the stain is completely gone.
