How to Remove Stains From Ladies' Knickers

For best results, treat underwear stains as soon as possible.

Stains in ladies' underclothes are common and unavoidable. The key to successfully removing these embarrassing stains is to act as quickly as possible. Never place a stained garment in the dryer since the heat will set the stain for good. If you have a stained pair of undies and want to see if the stain is gone, allow to air dry, then inspect them, as it may be difficult to see a stain on wet clothes.

• 2 tsps. cold water
