Stain removal (stain removal) - Stain removal

Japanese: しみ抜き(染み抜き) - しみぬき

This refers to home economics techniques for removing stains and foreign matter that have appeared on textile products such as clothing, and on residential walls, ceilings, tatami mats, and flooring. Among the basic necessities of life, clothing, food, and shelter, clothing, tablecloths, cloth-like wallpaper, carpets, etc. are particularly susceptible to staining from food, cosmetics, medicines, stationery, mold, and secretions. It is preferable to remove stains that have partially adhered to clothing without washing the entire garment, and there are also cases where stains cannot be removed by general washing and partial stain removal techniques must be used. In recent years, as the standard of living has improved, home economics techniques for stain removal have become more common, rather than being done at home, and the stain removal technique is often outsourced to specialized laundry companies.

Japanese:

衣服などの繊維製品，住宅の壁，天井，畳，床材などに生じた汚点，付着した異物を除去する家政学的技術をいう。とくに衣服，テーブルクロス，クロス状の壁紙，カーペットなどは，衣食住のなかで，食料品，化粧品，薬品，文具類，カビ，分泌物などにより汚れやすい。部分的に付着した衣服類の汚点は全体を洗濯することなく除去することが望ましいし，また一般の洗濯では除去できず部分的に染み抜きの技術を使用すべき場合もある。生活程度の向上した近年では，家政学的技術の染み抜きを家庭内で行うより，洗濯会社の専門的技術に依頼することが多くなった。
