Have you ever thought that you’ve ruined a garment after a food spillage?

Well, when one of our customers fell into a panic that chilli oil had left her white trousers destined for the bin, we were able to show her that there was life in them yet!

A couple of weeks ago we had a client come into our Stones Corner Brisbane store devastated after accidentally splashing chilli oil on the front of her stripey white trousers. She explained how she had instantly tried to remove the stain by washing it with warm soapy water, but now she feared that this could have done more damage than good by rubbing the stain deeper into the fabric.

Certain that the bright orange stain was now set in the trousers for good, yet immensely reluctant to throw away such unique and loved trousers, our lady thought she’d try her luck with us at elaundry and see if dry cleaning could do the trick.

Of course we were happy to take on the challenge, with our stain removal expert Marina being fairly certain that there was a good chance of banishing that chilli oil!

And just look at the results!

Because the stain was oil-based, not protein-based, there was a much better chance of being able to remove the stain. And with Marina’s expertise, this chilli oil stood no chance!

Protein based stains/marks can be extremely tough to remove – so if you accidentally get egg on a piece of clothing it may be a little harder to fully remove.

Needless to say, our customer was over the moon, exclaiming that “the trousers look better than when I first bought them!” Which made us over the moon as we love happy customers!

If you have a stain that you’d like to have banished from your garment, be it dress, shirt, trousers, coat, shoes or more, then simply bring it in to one of our stores at either Stones Corner or Clayfield and we’ll do our best to bring it back to life and looking good as new!
