Learn how to get stains out of both machine-washable and non-washable fabrics using these simple tips. You can try removing stains out of white clothes and colours, no matter the fabric. While stains on clothing and linens can be annoyingly stubborn, they don’t have to remain a permanent feature. Even notoriously difficult stains like red wine or ink can be removed from most fabrics.
Material required:
Shaving cream
White vinegar
Dishwash soap
Lemon juice
Baby powder
Shaving cream: Got makeup on your shirt? Apply a dollop of shaving cream to a foundation stain, allow to sit for a few minutes, and then work the material to loosen, rinsing with cold water. Repeat as needed. Once the stain is gone, launder the item as usual.
The power of friction: Remove off-putting deodorant spots on clothing with the power of friction! Rub the affected material with a dryer sheet, or even other clothing, and watch the stain disappear.
Lemon juice: As an all-natural bleaching agent, a half cup of lemon juice works wonders to remove stains from whites — and it’s nice and easy on the skin
Dish soap and baby powder: There are some strange hacks to remove grease from laundry out there. For a reliable option, dish soap works great to pretreat oil or grease stains on laundry. If heavily affected by grease, cover site with baby powder and allow to sit overnight to absorb the excess oils.
Distilled white vinegar: Ah, the all-powerful white vinegar. Not only does it make clothing more vibrant (even dark clothes!), it kills mildew and is great for a variety of stains. Try white vinegar on tea/coffee, grass, tomato-based stains, sweat stains and so much more! Caution: Never to use vinegar with bleach.
