on Fabric
General Stain Removal Info
- Dryel can be used on hand-washable items such as cotton sweaters or washable silks. However, Dryel is not recommended for machine-washable cotton or poly-cotton dress shirts. For other stain problems, consult the Dryel Stain Engine above.
- You can mix colors in a load. For best results, group garments of similar fabric and weight together. To avoid lint transfer, treat items like fuzzy sweaters individually.
- Dryel is compatible with commercial dry cleaning. Dryel can be used on items that have been commercially dry cleaned and vice versa.
- Dryel can be used on garments with accessories, such as brass buttons or shoulder pads, and on specialty fabrics with beads or sequins.
Dryel and Stains
- To help prevent the stain from spreading, first draw a ring around the stain with the Dryel Stain Remover. Then follow regular stain remover instructions. Perspiration spots or strong underarm odors should be treated as a stain.
- The Dryel stain removal process works best on smaller, fresher stains.
- The in-dryer process does not set stains. If a stain is still visible after the in-dryer process, treat again using the stain remover. If no further progress is seen, take garment to a commercial dry cleaner.
Water Spot Removal
If a water spot or ring forms, use the following method: Note: If you have used the stain removal solution, make sure the stain is completely removed before attempting to remove the water spot.
- Spread a clean, light-colored towel on an ironing board.
- Turn garment inside-out and lay water spot face down on towel.
- Wet area thoroughly with water using your iron's spray nozzle, a spray bottle or wet cloth.
- Adjust iron to appropriate fabric setting (see ironing tips) and iron wetted area until dry.
- Move to a dry portion of the towel and repeat steps 3 and 4 until water spot or ring is removed.
If after several attempts the ring is still visible, take the garment to your local dry cleaner for further treatment.
