The stain you should most watch out for is a yellow mustard stain. The hardest to remove because of the turmeric spice that gives it the yellow color and adds to mustards pungent flavor, it can also be almost impossible to remove from clothes. For ketchup and barbecue sauce while not normally too bad if just by themselves, once mixed with the oils and grease from meat, it adds another dimension to the complexity of a stain.

So after your joyous July 4^th celebrations, upon noticing various stains in “dry-clean only” clothing; these should come straight to Jeeves. For “washable” items, always pre treat them before washing at home (careful not to rub the stain, as it may make it worse). If the stains do not come out after their first go around in the washing machine, don’t put in the dryer because otherwise the stain will set. Instead, try pre-treating and washing it again. For any stains that are particularly large or that you’re having difficulty removing, bring those items in to Jeeves New York with the other dry clean only items!
