Launder with detergent in hottest water safe for the fabric. Do not use soap (bar, flake, or detergents containing natural soap), since soap could make stain permanent or at least more difficult to remove.

Soak tough stains for 30 minutes in 1 quart of warm water and 1 teaspoon of enzyme pre-soak product.

To remove old or set stains may require washing with bleach that is safe for the fabric.

If all the sugars are not removed a brown stain will appear when the fabric is heated in the dryer or is ironed, as the sugar is caramelised.
