How to Remove Old Stains From a Dress

The task of removing an old stain from your favorite dress can be tricky. It can take a long time to remove the stain, depending on the length of time the stain has remained on the dress. The removal of the stain also depends on the type of stain, whether it be wine, oil or blood. However, there are ways to remove old, set-in stains.

Things You'll Need

• Shout stain remover
• Liquid laundry detergent

Instructions

1. Pre-treat the stain with Shout stain remover. Shout stain remover helps break down and lift out hard-to-remove stains. Apply the Shout stain remover to the dress, and rub it in to make sure it covers the entire stain.

2. Keep the stain remover on the stain for two to three minutes to allow it to work.

3. Wash out the stain remover with hot water. At this time the dress should be ready for the laundry.

4. Put the dress in the washing machine and wash with liquid detergent. It may be best to use a liquid detergent that fights stains to make the stain removal process easier. Follow the instructions on the label of the liquid detergent for the amount of detergent to put in the washing machine.

5. Repeat this process until the stain is removed from the dress. It may take more than one time to remove the old stain from the dress.
