A clean uniform goes a long way toward projecting a professional appearance. Here’s how to tackle some of the common stains that are likely to come your way. DIESEL FUEL Small spill? Air it out. Big one? Hose it off and let it dry outside for 24+ hours. Once the smell is gone, wash on hot with 1/4 cup of ammonia. (Just don’t use the dryer until the stain and smell are completely gone.) A vinegar rinse can help, too. OIL & GREASE Try cornstarch first – let it sit for 30 minutes, then wash. Or spray the spot with WD-40, let it soak in, and follow with a dish soap wash. BLOOD Cold water first, then soak in an enzyme-based remover like OxiClean. For stubborn stains, extra soaking time helps. COFFEE & SODA Presoak in cool water with liquid detergent for 30 minutes. Then run a cold cycle to keep the stain from settling in. TOUGH STAINS. SMART FIXES.
