Always do a test patch on a hidden spot, as each material reacts differently. If in doubt please go to a professional cleaner.

Sperm contains a high percentage of proteins that can be very gently removed with products containing enzymes. Therefore we recommend for sensitive fabrics using a mild detergent.
