⚠️ Precautions
Safety is always #1 — please do not skip over this step
1. Always perform a spot test when applying a new product on the fabric. Apply a small amount on an inconspicuous part of the garment to ensure it doesn’t cause any discoloration. (5 minutes)
2. Be cautious while using any kind of bleach. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If using bleach, always wear rubber gloves and eye protection. (Immediate)
3. Avoid excessive rubbing or scrubbing as it might damage the fabric. Treat the stain gently. (Throughout the process)
4. Never mix different cleaning chemicals, as some combinations can produce harmful gases. (Immediate)
5. Remember to check the fabric care labels, following these instructions help prolong the life of your garment. Ignoring them can result in damage to the fabric. (Immediate)
6. If the stain is from a hazardous material, handle the garment with gloves. If the substance is unknown and potentially dangerous, consider seeking professional help. (Immediate)
7. Always wash your hands after handling cleaning products to prevent skin irritation. (After the process)
8. Ventilate your working area to avoid breathing in too much of any potent fumes from stain removers. (Throughout the process)
Pre-Treatment
Why it’s so important
Pre-treatment is vital for this particular stain as it helps to break down the substance causing the stain before the washing process begins. The stain might contain particles that are deeply embedded in the fabric, and pre-treatment can loosen these particles, making them easier to remove. Additionally, pre-treatment increases the effectiveness of the cleaning process, therefore enhancing the chances of completely removing the stain.

Pre-Treatment Instructions
Here are the pre-treatment instructions tailored specifically for effectively removing large, heavy yellow stains from linen:
1. Begin by assessing the stain carefully, taking note of its size and severity.
2. If the stain is fresh or wet, gently blot the excess moisture using a clean cloth or paper towel. Avoid rubbing, as it may spread the stain further.
3. In a well-ventilated area, prepare a pre-treatment solution using eco-friendly supplies. For this specific stain, create a mixture of equal parts hydrogen peroxide and liquid dish soap.
4. Apply the pre-treatment solution directly to the stained area. Ensure that the stain is thoroughly saturated with the solution.
5. Gently agitate the stain using a soft brush or your fingers, working the pre-treatment solution into the fabric. Be cautious not to damage the linen.
6. Allow the pre-treatment solution to sit on the stain for at least 15-20 minutes to penetrate and break down the stain particles.
7. After the designated time, rinse the treated area with cold water, focusing on flushing out the pre-treatment solution and loosened stain residue.
8. If the stain persists after rinsing, do not proceed with the regular washing process yet. Instead, move on to the next steps for stain removal.
Following these pre-treatment instructions will set the stage for effective stain removal from your linen fabric. Now, let’s move on to the stain removal steps to completely erase this stubborn stain!
How To Remove This Yellow Stain
⚠️ Make sure Pre-Treatment Instructions have been completed before trying to remove this type of Yellow stain
———
1. Identify the type of fabric and the stain source. (2 minutes)
2. Pre-treat the stain using a stain remover suitable for the fabric and stain type. Apply a small amount of the product onto the stain, and gently rub it in. (5 minutes)
3. Leave the pre-treatment on for at least 15 minutes (remember not to let it dry on the fabric). (15 minutes)
4. Rinse the treated area by running cold water through the back of the stain. This will help push the stain out of the fabric. (5 minutes)
5. Wash the garment as per the fabric care instructions. Use a color-safe bleach if it’s allowed for the fabric type. (45 minutes)
6. After washing, check if the stain is completely gone before drying the garment. If the stain is still visible, repeat steps 2-5. Drying can set the stain permanently. (10 minutes)
7. If the stain is removed, dry the garment as per the care instructions. (varies based on drying method)
Post-Treatment Care + Instructions
Special care instructions for after the Yellow stain has been removed
———
1. Once the garment is dry, double-check again for any remnants of the stain under a good light source. (3 minutes)
2. If the stain persists, consider using a professionally-formulated stain removal product for a more powerful treatment or get it professionally cleaned. If not, proceed to the next step. (Time varies based on availability)
3. Iron or steam the garment (if the fabric care instructions allow). This helps to restore the fabric’s natural texture after the washing process. (10-15 minutes)
4. Store the garment properly. Avoiding direct sunlight or damp spaces helps to prevent discolouration or new stains. (5 minutes)

Important Notes
Extra thoughts I had, just in case ♥️
———
1. Remember that the sooner you treat a stain, the better. As soon as you spot a stain, start the removal process. (Immediate).
2. The temperature of water you use for rinsing can be crucial. Cold water is usually suitable for most stains, and hot water can set certain types of stains. Follow the right type based on the stain origin. (5 minutes)
3. The drying process can be as crucial as the washing process. Never dry the stain under high heat condition before it’s completely gone as the heat can make the stain permanent. (After washing)
4. Some stubborn stains may not come out in the first go, it may take a couple of cycles, or you may have to try different stain-removal strategies. (Varies)
5. Do not hesitate to seek professional help if the stain continues to persist. Certain stains like oil paint, ink stains are hard to manage at home. (As per need)
Remember: patience is key in stain removal. Always try to keep a positive and determined approach.
