Did someone spill big game snacks on your favorite game gear? Have no fear, even if your team didn’t win we can save the day, whether it’s mustard, alcohol or cheese – but we have to get it fast. Don’t let those tricky stains set into the fabric. The dye-based foods will absorb and distort the colors, and the sugar-based foods will begin to oxidize and leave a haloed dingy stain after time (even when you don’t see anything!) And as hard as it is to resist, don’t try to get the stain out yourself. Pressure from rubbing, abrasion from scratching, and chemical reactions between what you use to clean and the stain itself can all cause permanent irreversible damage.
