When a stain on a white garment with a colored pattern extends over both the white and colored areas, the size of the stain is determined by adding together the area of each part of the stain on the white sections of the fabric.

Some examples:

• If the stain is altogether exactly the size of a gris, but part of it is on colored fabric, the stain would be treated as less than a gris.



• If the stain is larger than a gris and part of the stain on white fabric is half the size of a gris and another part on white is a bit more than a half of a gris, even though there is colored fabric separating the parts found on white, the stain counts as larger than a gris.

Stains that are not connected to each other on a garment are not added together when assessing stains. Each stain is evaluated independently.

In particularly pressing situations, there may be room for leniency and a specific question should be asked. Please get back to us with any further questions.
