How to Deal with Set-In Stains

Description

Older stains require more effort to remove. Soaking the fabric in a mixture of water and vinegar or oxygen bleach helps loosen set-in stains. For protein stains (blood, sweat), use an enzyme-based stain remover and let it sit before washing. For grease stains, apply dish soap and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before washing. Sunlight can help naturally fade stubborn stains on white fabrics. Multiple treatments may be necessary, but patience and the right products can help remove even the toughest stains.
