Washable Fibers

Follow these steps to remove smoke stains from Acrylic Fabric, Cotton, Linen, Modacrylic, Nylon, Olefin, Polyester, Spandex:

Note: Fabrics that have a smoke residue from a fire are best laundered or professionally cleaned.

• If the stain is small or laundering immediately is not possible, flush it with a dry-cleaning solvent such as Afta Cleaning Fluid.
• Apply a dry spotter to the stain and cover with an absorbent pad dampened with the dry spotter.
• Check the stain often, tamping (the method of bringing a brush down with light strokes on stained durable fabrics and materials) before changing pads.
• Continue alternate soaking and tamping until the stain is removed.
• Flush with one of the dry-cleaning solvents and allow to dry.
• If the stain remains, try the same procedure with a wet spotter and a few drops of ammonia.
• Be sure to flush the area well when the stain is lifted.
• Allow to dry and launder as soon as possible.
