After you've shown that "a little dirt never hurt" you may be interested in some tips for fighting summer stains. Here are a few of my favorites from Tara Aronson:
- Immediately rinse or blot away spills on your clothes with cool water to prevent stains from setting.
- Before washing stained garments, pretreat or prewash the spot using the Affinity’s Rinse & Spin cycle. If at first you don’t succeed, wash, wash again.
- When fighting a juice stain soak for a minute or so in cold water. Remove excess water, and then apply a pretreater directly on the stained area. Wash with detergent as usual. Air dry. Do not place in the dryer until the blight is completely gone – otherwise the stain is likely to set.
- For Chocolate (or chocolate ice cream - my most common stain!) prewash the garment in warm water with a laundry detergent that contains enzymes using the Affinity’s Rinse & spin setting. Launder as usual, using the washing machine’s Normal setting. Dry as usual.
