⚠️ Precautions

Safety is always #1 — please do not skip over this step
Given the details you’ve provided, here are the precautions that you should take:

1. Polyester can be sensitive to heat. Avoid exposing the fabric to high temperatures (like hot water, dryer on high heat setting, or iron on high temperature) to prevent shrinking or damaging the material.

2. Always test any cleaning solution or bleach on a hidden area of the fabric before using it on the stain. This ensures the solution does not discolor or damage the fabric.

3. Exercise caution when handling bleach or other cleaning solvents, as they can be harsh on both the skin and the fabric.

In terms of Personal Protective Equipment:

1. Gloves: Wearing waterproof or rubber gloves will protect your skin from constant exposure to water and cleaning products.

2. Eye Protection: If you’re using bleach or heavy-duty cleaning solutions, safety glasses are advised to prevent any splashes that could accidentally get into your eyes.

3. Apron: An apron will keep your clothes safe from accidental splashes from the cleaning products.

Remember, your safety should always come first when handling any cleaning process. So it’s better to take the necessary precautions.

Pre-Treatment

Why it’s so important

Pretreatment is crucial for this specific stain because sweat, body oil, and dirt can deeply penetrate and adhere to the polyester fibers, making them harder to remove. The pretreatment process helps to loosen these set-in particles from the fabric’s fibers before the actual cleaning, increasing the chances of completely removing the stain. Also, the soaking time in the pretreatment allows the cleaning solution to effectively break down the stain’s components, making the stain easier to be washed out during the cleaning process.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

Thank you for providing the details of the stain. Here are the pretreatment instructions for removing heavy sweat, body oil, and dirt stains from large polyester fabrics:

1. Blot the stain gently with a clean, white cloth to remove any excess moisture. (1-2 minutes)
2. Mix a solution of 1 part dish soap and 2 parts warm water. (1 minute)
3. Apply the soapy solution to the stained area, making sure to saturate the entire stain. (1-2 minutes)
4. Gently rub the fabric together to work the solution into the stain. (1-2 minutes)
5. Let the solution sit on the stain for approximately 15 minutes to allow it to penetrate the fabric. (15 minutes)

Please ensure to follow these pretreatment instructions carefully. Let me know when you’re ready for the stain removal steps.

How To Remove This Sweat, bodyoil, dirt Stain

⚠️ Make sure Pre-Treatment Instructions have been completed before trying to remove this type of Sweat, bodyoil, dirt stain
———
1. Rinse the pretreated area with warm water. Make sure the water flows through the back of the stain to push the stain out of the fabric. (2-3 minutes)

2. Prepare a soaking solution using a gentle, color-safe bleach suitable for polyester fabrics and warm water. Follow the instructions on the bleach packaging for the right measurements. (2-3 minutes)

3. Fully immerse the garment in the soaking solution. Make sure the entire stained area is under the water. (1 minute)

4. Let the item soak in the solution for at least one hour. Longer soaking times may be necessary for heavier stains. Check the stain every 30 minutes. (1-2 hours)

5. After soaking, rinse the garment thoroughly with warm water. (2-3 minutes)

6. If the stain is still visible, repeat steps 2-5 until it is no longer present. (Variable timing according to need)

7. If the stain is gone, launder the garment as usual in cold water. (Duration depending on the washing machine’s cycle)

8. Before drying, check to make sure the stain is completely gone. Do not dry the garment if any stain remains as heat can set the stain. (2-3 minutes)

Please be patient with the process as removing heavy stains from polyester fabrics may take a little more time, but it is indeed possible. Once you’re done, let me know if the stain has been successfully removed or if you need any further instructions.

Post-Treatment Care + Instructions

Special care instructions for after the Sweat, bodyoil, dirt stain has been removed
———
1. Inspect the garment once again to make sure all stain traces are gone. (2-3 minutes)

2. Dry your polyester garment only if you’re sure that the stain has been fully removed, as heat can set stains. Prefer to air-dry if not in a rush, otherwise, tumble dry on low heat setting (Duration depending on drying method)

3. Once dry, inspect the formerly stained area one last time. If unfortunately, the stain is still there, it’s time to repeat the stain removal process. (2-3 minutes)

4. If the stain is gone, iron the garment, if needed, on synthetic setting, for polyester can melt under high heat. Use a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric. (5-10 minutes depending on the garment’s size)

5. Finally, store your clean, fresh garment in a cool, dry place to avoid exposure to extreme conditions which may cause new stains or damage to the fabric. (1-2 minutes)

These are the consequential steps you must follow to ensure the stain removal has worked effectively and that the fabric is treated carefully post-treatment. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there is anything else I can assist you with. Happy cleaning!

Important Notes

Extra thoughts I had, just in case ♥️
———
Given all the previous steps, there is one crucial note you might find useful:

While bleach is cited as possible to use due to colorfastness, you should always resort to bleach or heavy-duty cleaning solvents as the last option. Such chemicals can potentially harm the polyester if not managed cautiously. Instead, consider using stain removers designed for polyester, or gentle non-chlorine bleach which is suitable for synthetic fabrics.

Additionally, speed matters a lot in successful stain removal. The sooner you treat the stain, the better will be your chances of completely eliminating it. Hence, avoid allowing the stain to set quite long before starting the pretreatment.

Lastly, always follow the fabric care label as the most reliable guide for treating your garment the best in the given scenario.

Keep these points in mind as they can give extra potential to your stain removal process!
