Removing Stains from Wool Fabric

  • Try to treat stains immediately to prevent them from setting into the fabric.
  • With a clean white cloth, blot to remove as much of the stain as possible. Do not rub.
  • Take garments with stubborn stains to the dry cleaner as soon as possible. This includes stains caused by paint, dyes, nail polish, etc.
  • Have a bottle of stain or spot removal solution on hand for oil based stains such as oil, make-up, or chocolate. Make sure that the product you use is safe for wool fabric. Test the solution on an inconspicuous area before using on the stain.
  • Be sure to remove stains before pressing. Heat can cause stains to set in wool fabric.
