Quick Tips

• The Right Brush for Each Task
  Use the correct brush, and don’t mix their use: 1. Black brush – dryside brush used for solvent based stain removal products. 2. White brush – wetside brush used for water based stain removal products. 3. Hog Bristle brush – a soft bristled brush for stain removal used on delicate fabrics. 4. Use cheesecloth to wrap around a bristled brush to make a soft, padded brush for delicate items.

• Soaking Garments Overnight
  When you want to soak a garment overnight, cover it with a towel so that the garment stays completely submerged.
