4 Tips for Rescuing Your Favourite Piece of Clothing After a Spill or Spot

Getting Tough Stains out of Your Favourite Clothes

If you are dealing with a large spill or spot, or particularly for oily or brightly coloured stains, think carefully about whether you are willing to risk permanent damage to the item before you attempt at home stain removal. 

While home spot and stain removal with regular laundry detergent or spray and wash works well for many small, simple, water soluble stains, at Page the Cleaner our experienced cleaners are trained to carefully target a wide range of difficult stains, for the best chance at full stain removal without damaging your garment!

What you can do to have the best chance of success with a major stain on clothing:

  • ACT QUICKLY! When you get a spill or contamination on a garment, if possible, remove the item and sop up and absorb as much as possible as quickly as possible. For water soluble materials (ie. not oily), try rinsing with water.
  • THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE – If you love the garment and want the best chance of restoring it, do not attempt home remedies – attempts to remove the stain by washing or trying home remedies may actually cause permanent setting of the stain
  • BRING IT IN – Bring the garment in to Page as soon as possible – old stains are harder to remove than new stains. 
  • GIVE US THE DETAILS – Provide as much information as you can about what caused the stain – example – knowing that a red stain is from lipstick vs paint, food, or blood would significantly change our course of action. If you have made any attempts to remove it yourself, let us know what you’ve tried.

What Our Customers Have To Say

I must say, Page the cleaners is by far the best when it comes to dry cleaning Bespoke suits.. I literally drop off 3 to 4 full suits and not only do they do the best job but it’s very affordable. I always end up paying less than $100.!! Staff is very friendly and I will definitely continue to be coming here!!

I recently used Page Cleaner’s pickup and delivery service, and I’m very impressed! The gentleman who collected my clothes looked sharp in his uniform—it gave a great first impression. The convenience of door-to-door service is a huge plus for busy people like me.One small suggestion: It’d be helpful if you could notify customers before delivery (e.g., a call or text) so we can ensure someone is home. Other than that, fantastic job—I’ll definitely use your service again!

I’ve always gotten good service here. My coveralls are clean and folded as well as gloves within a few days. I have even been in a panic and they had them done quicker. The ladies that work at the front are always helpful and make sure my experience is good here. Thanks for keeping my coveralls clean.

- Ron Shank

This is the best dry cleaner I've visited. The staffs are very professional and they took great care of my winter jacket. Their text message system is also very convenient at keeping me informed on their service progress.

I've been going here for years. Great service and friendly staff. Coveralls are almost always done within a couple days. Prices are good I normally pay around 40-50 for 8 coveralls. Would love to see a night time drop off slip option one day. But other than that if you're an oil and gas worker come here to get the bitumen out of your coveralls.
