A crisp shirt or billowy white dress says, “Summer is here!” So do food stains and smudges on that bright white. Here are a few things to remember when removing stains:

• Don’t use chlorinated bleach on yellow stains. This may actually darken the stain.
• Don’t use a dark colored cloth or towel to rub the stain. This can lead to color transfer.
• Hot water wash can cause certain stains to set. This includes stains like blood, egg, or milk. If you’re unsure what kind of stain you’re dealing with, don’t use hot water.
• Avoid ironing or machine-drying a stained garment since heat causes stains to set.
