Please note that we recommend testing the stain removal agent on an unexposed seam prior to application on the stain if you are unsure of the nature of the stain.
HELPFUL TIPS
- If stain remains, apply General Formula No. 209, tamp lightly and then flush with steam.
- Then after thoroughly flushing with steam, apply Devour letting it work for at least 15 minutes.
- Remember to be PATIENT because some stains require a longer digestion time than others.
- After waiting for the digestion process to work, flush with steam.
- If stain remains, bleach if fabric/colors allow. Sodium perborate is recommended.
HELPFUL TIPS
- Some oil stains do not respond well to the treatment. When oil stains have oxidized, they can become extremely difficult if not impossible to remove from fabrics.
- Following our outlined procedure will give you the best shot at success.
HELPFUL TIPS FOR SUNSCREEN
- If traces of stain remain, apply General Formula 209, tamp lightly.
- Flush with steam.
- In the rare case that GF 209 did not work, then apply a rust remover and flush with steam.
- If stain is still there, bleaching (if fabric/colors allow) may be necessary. Sodium perborate is recommended.

HELPFUL TIPS
Start by working on the reverse side of the stain.
- Using patience, allow the chemical to penetrate the area and soften the back side of the glue/adhesive.
- Once removed, continue to flush the area with a paint, oil, and grease (POG) remover and rinse with a volatile dry spotter (VDS) to remove any residue.
- Then dry with air.
HELPFUL TIPS
If traces of ink remain, bleaching may be necessary. A reducing bleach like Ready Strip or Streepene may be the answer.
- Make sure the stained area is free of any other chemicals by flushing the area thoroughly with cool water.
- Apply READY-STRIP to the stained area and let stand until unwanted dye disappears.
- If any dye remains after 1-2 minutes, heat the stained area with steam using a fogging procedure.
- When dye is removed, flush thoroughly with cool water.
- Launder, dryclean, wetclean or feather as necessary.
HELPFUL TIPS
- If stain remains, after thoroughly flushing with steam, apply Devour Digester.
- Allow Devour to work for at least 15 minutes, remember to be PATIENT because some stains require a longer digestion time than others.
- Flush with steam.
- If stain remains, repeat those steps by reapplying Devour and then flushing with steam.
