Drinks: If you or somebody else accidentlly spills a drink on your favourite top, make sure your have it cleaned as soon as possible, so the stain wont have time to set in...or if you cannot get to a dry cleaners try a soda or tonic water and blot dry with clean white paper towels.

Fake Tan: We see many light coloured jackets with tan marks around the collar. 9 times out of 10 we can get the tan out, we only have problems the longer the stain has ingrained on the garment. Unfortunately the active ingredient in fake tan develops on cotton and wool in much the same way as it does on skin, producing a permanent stain.

Grease: Food spills tend to leave greasy marks, so whatever you do don't put water on the stain as this can set the stain in,depending on fabric. Just use a dry cloth to remove stain and have it cleaned as soon as possible. The chemical in dry cleaning breaks down grease very well and we've had good results over the years.
