EASY TIPS FOR REMOVING STAINS

INK

Ink can be erased with these three items: salt, baking soda, and lemon juice.

RED WINE

Red wine can be easily removed with the same products for ink removal: salt, baking soda and lemon juice.

BLOOD STAINS

Blood stains on fabrics should be soaked in cold salt water for about 1 hour, then wash it in warm water with your everyday laundry detergent soap. If it is a fresh stain, use salt to cover it up and wet it with cold water, rinse it with fresh water until the blood stain disappears.

CANDLE WAX

Place an ice cube on the wax, remove it with a dull knife and get rid of any remaining wax by placing a paper bag flat over the spot, press hard all over the area with a warm iron then the wax will melt onto the paper.

RUST

Salt and vinegar work well to remove rust off of fabric. Combine both products and place it on top of the stained area. Lay the fabric out in the sun, if this isn’t an option, stretch it over a bowl and pour hot water on top of the stain.

MILDEW

Mix lemon juice and salt, spread this on the stain, rinse it with water then dry it. You can also use salt, vinegar and water.

JUICE, COFFEE AND TEA REMOVAL

Soak the stain in vinegar and water and rinse with water.
