Comforter: Why some stains come out and why some don't.

It’s a very common problem. When you have your comforter cleaned, some of the stains come out but some don’t. Why? The most likely reason is time. When it comes to stain removal, time is the biggest factor. The age of the stain often determines whether its removable or not. If treated quickly enough, in the hands of a trained professional, ”almost” any stain can be removed from almost any fabric. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. Given enough time, an otherwise removable stain can cause permanent damage to the fabric. Removing stains on household items such as comforters, blankets, drapes, and rugs are particularly problematic, because some of the stains can be very old. Even if the cleaner is able to remove the original stain, you can often still see where the stain was, because the stain changed the color of the underlying fabric. This type of fabric damage is often irreversible. As a general rule, as soon as the stain hits the fabric, immediately blot up as much of it as possible with a clean cloth. Then, as soon as possible, have the stain treated professionally, the quicker the better.
