We all know the feeling. You're wearing your favorite outfit and feeling more confident than ever, but then disaster strikes – a stray crumb of food, drop of coffee, or speck of dirt leaves a stain! Stains are one of the most frustrating parts of caring for clothing, and removing them can prove to be a truly herculean task. At A Touch of Class, we're proud to offer premier laundry valet and dry cleaning services to the San Rafael community – and here are our tips for getting rid of clothing stains. First Aid Comes FirstOften, the best way to fix a stain is to act as fast as possible. Ideally, you should bring the clothing into us for a professional cleaning as soon as possible – that provides the best chance at truly treating the stain and saving the clothing. However, as soon as you notice the stain, it's time to act. If possible, don't let the stain dry. Once a stain dries, it's much more likely for it to set into the fabric of the clothing. Apply water periodically to keep the stain wet and dilute it, making it easier to treat later on. Never Dry Stained ClothingPerhaps the most important thing to remember is that once a piece of clothing has a stain, NEVER, ever let it go into a dryer! The heat from a dryer will set the stain into the fabric, making it significantly more difficult (and often impossible) to remove. Keep stained clothing out of sunlight as much as possible, as light can break down some materials and make them harder to out. Leave It to the ProsHowever, the best advice we can give is to leave it to the professionals. Sometimes it's possible to get stains out of clothing on your own – but it's difficult, and "miracle" stain removers rarely live up to their promises. If it's an article of clothing that's truly important to you, your best option is to give it to us for a professional dry cleaning service. If you can tell us as much as possible about the stain, we have specialty cleaning agents and tools that let us remove tough stains and get clothing looking good as new.
