5 Stubborn Stains You Don't Want To Have On Your Family's Cloths by sagecleaner: 12:19pm On Dec 15, 2016
It is unfortunate the way some wife gets into trouble when it comes to washing family cloths. Whether you are washing the cloths yourself or you are giving it to a dry cleaner; these five stains are something you don't joke with.

Stains on garments has and would continue to be a day to day challenge for most people to remove, particularly with increase in innovation in the textile industry with complex blending of textile fibers ranging from the well known cotton to the not so popular Yak.
This varying fiber blends contributes to the fastness and toughness of certain stains on garments, making it almost impossible to remove except by a professional dry-cleaning expert. This article is going to list a few very stubborn stains you definitely don’t want on your garments.

1). Mildew

The mildew definitely makes the top of the list of stubborn stains, it’s every dry-cleaner’s nightmare. Mildew is a thin, black, or sometimes brownish growth produced by mold (Fungi) always found in the air.
Fabrics of cotton, rayon, silk, wool, and leather are the most susceptible, dampness, warmth, dirt, poor air circulation are factors that aid this fungus to flourish, and they can cause considerable damage to fabrics as they grow. They leave a musty odour, discolour fabrics, and sometimes they eat into them until the fabrics rot and fall to pieces.

2.) Rust Stain

This is one stain you don’t want on your garments, it is usually formed by the reaction of iron on a moist fabric, the challenging thing about the rust stain is that it cannot be removed by an ordinary detergent action, it requires basic understanding of chemistry to treat a stain of this nature. So if you are unfortunate to have a stain of rust on your garments, the professional drycleaners maybe where you want to take it.

3.) Dye Transfer Stain

Such stains may occur when dye is transferred onto lighter garments in the cleaning solution as well as by physical contact with problem – causing items. Color can transfer onto lighter garments or on to a white portion of the same article. The resulting colour change is usually permanent.

4.) Deodorant Stain

This type of stains usually appear around the armpit region. Many deodorants usually contain acidic solutions of Aluminium Chloride. This acid will damage cellulosic fibers such as cotton & linen. The longer the strong Aluminium Chloride solutions stains remains on the garment without being laundered, the more severe the damage.

5.)Mud Stains

By all means avoid mud stains staying for too long on your garments. The longer it stays on a garment it oxidizes and converts into a rust stain making it more damaging to the fabric. You want to wash them off at the earliest available opportunity.
