[Histonet] Alcian Blue stain on lab coats

[Eileen Akemi Allison]

Hello Histo Peeps:

I have two new lab coats which have been stained with Alcian Blue and can’t get the stains out.  I have tried oxy clean incorporated with bleach, as well as pre-soaking in 3% acetic acid, and American Mastertech’s stain remover to no avail.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
