April Showers Also Bring Mud
Get Muddy Messes Off Your Wardrobe
Is the rainy season making a mark on your clothes? Chances are you’ve brushed up against a dirty car or walked through a muddy sidewalk lately.
The good news is that most mud stains can be removed by washing the item according to the care instructions. So before stains set in, tackle them yourself—or, drop off your stained clothes at your friendly Max I. Walker for professional dry cleaning and laundering services. You’ll save your clothes from permanent damage and keep them looking newer, longer.
Get ’Em ASAP
When stains and spills of any kind are left untreated, they become difficult to remove and cause fibers to weaken. Bring those tough stains straight to Max I. Walker for quick, quality care.
Give Mud the Brush Off
When you’re faced with a mud stain, first, let the mud dry. Then brush off as much as possible using a soft bristle brush, such as an old toothbrush. Wash as usual with regular laundry detergent.
Beat Up Those Tough Ones
For those more difficult mud stains, try one of the many pretreatment products on the market. Let the treatment sit on the stain according to directions, then launder as usual using the hottest water allowable for the garment.
Check Colorfastness First
Before using any stain removal agent, test for colorfastness. Just apply a small amount of the product to an unexposed area of the garment. Let it stand for about five minutes, then rinse. If the color isn’t affected, it’s colorfast and you can proceed to treat it. If the color is affected, don’t use the product and take it to the helpful professionals at Max I. Walker.
