How can a spot be removed?
If you get a spot on your garnment, pour water on it to remove it but don't rub it. The fabric's resistance to spots works for all liquids (wine, coffee, sauces).
Is it as efficient for dark spots like chocolate?
As long as the spot is liquid it can be rinsed with water, no matter what colour it is.
What happens when the spot isn't liquid?
If the spot isn't liquid, there is no guarantee that the fabric's patented qualities will work. However, spots caused by semi-liquids such as ketchup, honey or chocolate can generally be removed by pouring a lot of water on them.
Does the fabric prevent the wearer from perspiring?
