3 Stubborn Stains and How to Remove Them


Plop!
That’s the dreaded sound of the BBQ sauce dropping on your white dress while you’re chomping down on the most delicious ribs you’ve ever had.
Oh, God, no! You need to wear this dress for your friend’s birthday party at the end of the week.

What to do?

Step 1: Don’t panic!
Step 2: The faster you get to treat the stain, the better.
Step 3: Run it under cold water, dab it and try to remove as much of the stain as possible.
Lastly, never put the clothing item in the dryer until you’re sure that the stain’s out, or you’ll make the mark permanent.
These steps apply for removing all kinds of stains, but some of the more stubborn ones require a little extra attention. Here are a few tips to help you out.

1. Grass Stains

Nothing sucks the fun out of a family picnic than the sight of a hideous green grass stain on your child’s clothes; you know you’ll be spending hours in the laundry room trying to get it out. But the truth is that grass stains aren’t as invincible as you might think. You just have to treat them directly with a little detergent before washing the clothing item with the rest of the clothes. If it’s still there, some diluted vinegar will get the job done.


2. Red Wine Stains

Had a little spill while as sipped on red wine? That’s okay; we’ve all been there. Just make sure you’re quick on your feet when that happens. Sprinkle some baking soda or salt on the stain; it’ll absorb the pink color. Then soak the garment in cold water and detergent overnight. Your shirt will be as good as new when you wash it in the morning.

3. Chocolate Stains

If you need to clean up a chocolate stain, the first step is to remove excess chocolate from the clothing item. Next, pre-treat the stain with liquid detergent and use a soft-bristle toothbrush to spread it into the fibers. Lastly, wash the garment on the highest temperature indicated on the washing label.

Spilling coffee or having someone’s food fall on your newly cleaned clothes can be a nuisance. It can especially be annoying if the stained clothes in question are white. Not only do you have to deal with people assuming you’re clumsy or unkempt, but you have to clean that stain. Stain removal can be difficult, but, with some tips, it doesn’t have to be.   Blotting Blotting involves transferring the staining material from the stained material to a more absorbent and less social one.

To blot your stain, you continuously dab the stained spot with your absorbent material. You should use a white towel to absorb, as coloured can leave their colour on the stained item.
