Cleaning Tips |
|
We are
always trying to make sure that as a shopper, you do not have to sift
through items that are not in good condition. Please help us maintain our
high standards by checking through your items before bringing them in.
* the following are
suggestions only; test fabrics before using them and use them at your own
risk |
|
General
Stains
|
Biz |
Soak
stained clothes in Biz and water, then wash as directed per each item.
Use bleach on a toothbrush for removing stains on white fabrics. |
|
Carbona Stain Remover |
Carbona
Stain Wizard is the toughest pre-wash stain remover available. The all
natural bio-enzyme formula penetrates, breaks up and removes stains
quickly and effectively from most fabrics. Now you can remove most
grease, protein-based and strongly colored stains caused by fat, oil,
blood, milk, fruit, ketchup, vegetables and many baby foods.
Carbona Stain Wizard may
even remove stubborn, older stains from fabrics.
Safe for all washables,
colorfast textiles EXCEPT SILK |
|
Goop
|
Apply
liberally to the item (no need for water), wait some time, then put in
regular wash cycle. According to some other sites, Goop has been found
to remove stains from clothes that were previously washed and dried. |

cleaning solution for removing spit-up, urine, blood, etc. |
|

|
Oxy
Clean Powder |
Mix some
powder and water to make a paste. Rub the paste on the stain and wash.
Follow the directions on the package as some fabrics should not be
cleaned with Oxy Clean (i.e. dry clean only). Stain removers with
enzymes, like Oxy Clean, are highly effective on stains. |
White Fabrics
|
Bleach / Bleach Pen |
Can also scrub the bleach
into the fabric with a toothbrush. |
|
Tilex or other similar cleaners with bleach |
Removes
mildew stains on white fabrics. These products contain bleach, so they
may not be appropriate for use on colored fabrics. Spray on and let
sit. Rinse any blue spots that form. |
Shoes and Toys
|
Spray Preparation Solution
(found at shoe stores) |
Use on white oxford-type
shoes for scuffs and marks. For scratches that have taken off the
original color, use shoe spray. Follow instructions for both products.
Don't forget to soak clean the laces too. |
|
Oops |

for getting all kinds of stickers, stains, and marks (scratches, scuffs,
crayon, pen, pencil) off plastic toys. Make sure to test a small area
before cleaning on any toy that is made of thinner plastic. Use steel
wool with the product on tougher stains. The product will also take
crayon off chalk boards without damaging the finish. Make sure to wear
rubber gloves when working with this product. |
