stain removal

Getting spots out

Stain removal is the process of eliminating unwanted marks or discoloration from fabric, carpet, or other surfaces.

Different stains require different treatments—grease responds to dish soap, wine to salt and cold water, ink to alcohol.

The dry cleaner specializes in stain removal.

The term also appears as an adjective: stain removal products, stain removal guide.
