The holidays are a time for joy, laughter, and… unsightly stains? Between festive feasts and family gatherings, our holiday outfits often take a beating. But fear not! Mango Fresh Laundry is here to help you tackle those pesky holiday stains and keep your clothes looking their best.
Common Holiday Stains & How to Treat Them:
- Cranberry Sauce: This vibrant side dish can leave a stubborn mark. Act fast! Blot the stain with a clean cloth, then pre-treat with a stain remover before washing.
- Gravy: A holiday classic, but a nightmare on fabric. Gently scrape off excess gravy, then rinse the stain with cold water. A pre-wash stain treatment can work wonders before laundering.
- Red Wine: Spills happen! Blot (don't rub!) the stain immediately. If possible, cover the stain with salt to absorb the wine. Launder as usual, but check if the stain is gone before putting the garment in the dryer – heat can set the stain.
- Chocolate: A sweet treat that can leave a bitter stain. Gently scrape off any excess chocolate. Pre-treat the stain with a stain remover or a bit of laundry detergent.
- Candle Wax: Don't let a little wax dampen your holiday spirit. Place the garment in the freezer to harden the wax, then gently scrape it off. Place a paper bag over the remaining wax and iron on a low setting. The wax should transfer to the paper.
