Choosing a product for different materials

When starting to remove stains, you need to take into account the type of fabric from which the outerwear is sewn.

Leather clothing (natural or artificial)

Fresh drops are needed:

2. Rub the damaged area with laundry soap or Fairy. Better to use a toothbrush.

   The bristles will help remove pigment marks from pores or natural folds in the material.

Features of cleansing depending on the color

When choosing how to remove paint, you need to take into account not only the type, but also the color of the fabric.

White

Care must be taken when handling such clothing as thinners, gasoline or turpentine can leave yellow or gray streaks.

If that doesn't work, mild chlorine or optical brighteners are acceptable.... At the same time, it is not worth washing a white down jacket in "White". The fabric will turn yellow quickly.

Black

Use refined gasoline, turpentine, or acetone to clean dark material. Fresh stains can be removed with laundry soap.

Bleach, baking soda, alcohol or solvents will leave bleached areas, they cannot be used.

What if the type of dye is unknown?

It is not always possible to determine which dye stain is left on the jacket.

In this case, it is worth trying safe cleaning methods first:

1. Carefully remove the drop with a hard tool (knife, scissors, nail file) until it is dry.

   You need to act carefully, collecting the paint from the edge to the center, being careful not to damage the material.

2. Wash the stained area with cool water and laundry soap or dish detergent.
3. Use stain remover for colored or white laundry, depending on the color of your jacket.

Expensive jackets made of capricious material should not be cleaned by yourself. It will be safer to go to a dry cleaner and entrust the removal of paint to professionals.

Conclusion

The fresher the drops of dye, the easier it is to remove them from outerwear.... Most often, a damp cloth and soap are sufficient for cleaning.

Dried stains (especially from oil or acrylic paint) deeply embedded in the fibers of the fabric are almost impossible to remove.
