Out, Damned Spot
It happens in an instant. Spoon to mouth, dish to sink, ink to shirt – something’s dropped, something oozes, splashes, explodes. Plop! There’s a stain.

Out, damned spot, Shakespeare said. Oh, how the Bard might have wished he could time travel to the 21st century and be the lucky possessor of Lindy Sue’s Come Clean Guide. Inside this compendium of laundry magic, you’ll find the tips to tackle many of the most common, belligerent stains.

Of course, life doesn’t come with guarantees. Neither do stain removal kits. This guide, however ingenious, won’t remove stains from your conscience, for example. It’s intended for washable fabrics only. But trying to clean up the nasty spots and spills we call encounter is satisfying work, whatever the result.
