Stains on most of these items cannot be removed successfully at home. If a stained garment is labeled "dry-clean" or "professionally dry-clean," blot up the excess stain and take the garment to the cleaners as soon as possible (within 24 to 48 hours). A label's recommendation for dry-cleaning usually is based on the fiber content of the clothing, but may relate to other parts of the garment, such as the interfacing, elastic, and/or trim.
