Never use soap, salt, vinegar and other household products! These cause immediate (visible as a discolouration) or long term (damage or resoiling, stains will then return) problems that you can better prevent.

Treatment of fresh stains

Immediate treatment with water

This stain can be treated immediately with water. You will need a white, cotton cloth and water. Please follow steps below:

  • First remove, as far as possible, any loose substances using a spoon.
  • Immediately hold a white cotton cloth under the cold tap, wring it out and place it flat on the stain.
  • Leave the cotton cloth in place to dry completely, no peeking. Should the cloth become saturated, replace it with a fresh one as described above. Then leave the cloth until it is completely dry.
Note: Do not perform the above instructions if water causes aspect loss or discoloration on the material to be treated.

Treatment of dried stains

Treat with James Stainwonder

This stain can be treated with James Stainwonder. All you need is a bottle of James Stainwonder!

  • Test for colour and material resistance in an inconspicuous area: apply, let it dry completely and evaluate.
  • Allow the surface to dry completely.
  • Apply James Stainwonder on the dry stain by holding the bottle upside down, placing the opening of the bottle on the stain and then treat the entire stain.
  • The product works for 12 hours, so the effect does not have to be visible immediately.*
  • Is the stain not completely gone after treatment, but it has improved? You may repeat the treatment.

* With wool: in the vast majority of cases, James Stainwonder does not cause any discolouration. You have already established this by testing the product in an inconspicuous area as described above. In that case, you do not need to carry out the following step. If a (slight) discolouration did occur, you should neutralise James Stainwonder as soon as the stain has disappeared. In this case, immediately place a damp cotton cloth on the spot where the stain was and let it dry.
