take care

treat those fabrics and textiles with care...

lipstick stains - such a pain. Whatever you do don't rub at it - it's greasy so will just increase the stained area. Best thing to do - dissolve it by pouring some methylated spirit on a white tissue and carefully dab at the stain without soaking the material.

dry-cleaning - the reason these 'delicate' clothes say 'dry-clean only' is because the clothes manufacturers have to protect themselves against shrinkage, according to India Knight, but you can wash nearly everything by hand.
