Here are some general steps for removing stains from dry clean only clothing:

Act quickly

• The sooner you address a stain, the better chance you have of removing it.

Blot, don’t rub

• Use a clean cloth or paper towel to blot the stain gently. Rubbing can spread the stain and damage the fabric.

Test a hidden area

• Before attempting any stain removal method, test it on an inconspicuous part of the garment to ensure it won’t harm the fabric.

Identify the stain

• Determine the type of stain you’re dealing with, as different stains may require different treatment.

Use a mild detergent

• Mix a small amount of mild detergent with water and apply it to the stain. Gently blot and rinse with cold water.

Stain-specific treatments

• Depending on the stain, you can use specific treatments like vinegar for wine stains, lemon juice for fruit stains, or a commercial stain remover.

Dry clean only products

• There are stain removal products designed for dry clean only clothing. Follow the instructions on the product carefully.

Avoid water-based treatments

• Limit the use of water-based stain removal methods, as they can cause water spots on delicate fabrics.

Consult a professional

• If you’re unsure or the stain is stubborn, it’s best to take the garment to a professional dry cleaner.

Explain the stain

• When taking the garment to the dry cleaner, be sure to inform them of the type of stain and what you’ve already done to treat it.

Remember that it’s always best to follow the care label instructions on your dry clean only clothing and, if in doubt, seek professional help from a dry cleaner.
