Re: Degreasing my clothes? (Help!)

["Stephen Bigelow" <sbigelow@sprint.ca>]

Yep...cold water for everything but oil based stains. Pre-treat, and then
the hottest water the fabric will stand.


>From the http://www.quixtar.com database....

"To remove an oil based stain:

Laundry/Fabric
1. Treat with ****** Pre-Wash Spray Spot Treatment
2. Launder with any ***** Detergent using hottest water safe for fabric.
3. If delicate washable fabric, pre-treat and launder using *****Delicate
Detergent in cool water per label directions. "
