The Case of the “Invisible” Stain.
Food or cooking oils on your
synthetic garments may cause stains
\vhich are virtually invisible and
\vhich you may not notice as you
put your clothes into the washer.
If these stains are not completely
removed in the wash, the oily spots
may pick up dirt from the wash

visibleand you may think they were
caused by the wash cycle itself.
