This is a follow up to my last laundry blog. I had a request for a quick and easy stain guide. The following are 100% effective on the toughest and most stubborn stains! They are all recommended PRIOR TO WASHING.
Chocolate Scrape off as much as possible and soak in cold water for half-hour before washing. Rub with laundry soap and wash as usual.
Blood Dab hydrogen peroxide onto stain.
Red Juice Squeeze a lemon onto stain and soak in boiling hot water.
Wax Freeze garment in freezer until stain hardens and then iron on low with a paper towel in between garment and iron. Magic and pretty cool! This works on all wax.
Grass Stain Rubbing alcohol.
Rust Squeeze lemon onto rust stain, poor a bit of salt into lemon juice and rub together.
Red wine Club soda (always keep a few little bottles in cleaning closet) if stain persists soak in hot water and borax.
Coffee Borax
Grease Rub cornmeal into stain to absorb grease then let dry 10 minutes, brush stain and cornmeal away and wash.
Ink Place garment stain-side- down then blot stain with rubbing alcohol until stain seeps from shirt into towel.
Perspiration New stains use shampoo to cut oils and ring stain. If the stain is older soak in white vinegar and wash HOT.
