Stains on clothes can be frustrating, but most can be removed with the right techniques. Whether it's coffee, red wine, oil, or grass, there are effective solutions that are both gentle and quick. Read on to discover the best methods to save your clothes.
Different stains require different methods for effective removal. Follow these steps to ensure the best treatment for your clothes and prevent permanent stains.
Before treating the stain, it's important to know what you're dealing with. Some stains require special treatments, and certain fabrics are more delicate than others.
Greasy stains (oil, butter, dressing):
Sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder on the stain to absorb the grease.
Apply dish soap directly to the stain, rub gently, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
Rinse with warm water and wash as usual.
Colored stains (wine, coffee, berries, ketchup):
Sprinkle salt or baking soda on the stain to absorb the liquid.
Pour cold water through the stain from the back to push the color out.
Use vinegar or lemon juice to break down the stain before washing.
Protein stains (blood, milk, egg, sweat):
Always rinse with cold water first, as warm water can set the stain.
Make a paste with baking soda and water and apply it to the stain.
Alternatively, use an enzyme-based detergent to break down the protein.
Ink and makeup:
Dab gently with rubbing alcohol or acetone-free nail polish remover to dissolve the ink.
Use shaving foam to remove makeup stains like foundation or mascara.
Wash the garment at the recommended temperature.
Grass stains:
Rub with dish soap or a mixture of vinegar and water.
Let it sit for 15-30 minutes before washing as usual.
Chocolate stains:
Scrape off excess chocolate with a knife.
Rinse the stain from the back with cold water, then wash with a grease-cutting detergent.
Deodorant stains:
Rub a mixture of lemon juice and baking soda on the stain, let it sit for 10 minutes, and wash as usual.
Once the stain is pre-treated, wash the garment at the appropriate temperature:
Cold water (20-30°C): Used for protein stains like blood, milk, and egg.
Lukewarm water (30-40°C): Suitable for most stains and delicate fabrics.
Hot water (50-60°C): Effective against grease stains and stubborn discoloration on white fabrics.
Always check the care label to avoid fabric damage.
Avoid drying clothes until you’re sure the stain is completely gone.
High heat from the dryer or ironing can set the stain permanently.
If the stain is still visible after washing, repeat the pre-treatment and wash again.
❔ How do I remove old stains from clothes?
Old stains require longer pre-treatment. Soak the garment in baking soda water for a few hours before washing.
❔ Can I use hot water to remove stains?
It depends on the stain type – protein stains like blood should always be rinsed in cold water to prevent them from setting.
❔ What should I do if the stain doesn’t disappear after washing?
Repeat the pre-treatment and wash again, but avoid drying the garment until the stain is completely gone.
❔ Are there fabrics that require special care when removing stains?
Yes, silk and wool are delicate materials and should only be treated with gentle methods such as mild soap or special detergents.
❔ How do I remove grass stains from clothes?
Use dish soap or a mixture of vinegar and water. Let it sit for 15-30 minutes before washing as usual.
❔ How do I remove red wine stains?
Sprinkle salt or baking soda on the stain to absorb the liquid. Then rinse with cold water and wash as usual.
❔ Is dish soap a good stain remover?
Yes, dish soap is particularly effective against grease stains, as it breaks down oils and fats in fabrics.
❔ Can I use lemon juice to remove stains?
Yes, lemon juice has a natural bleaching effect and can be particularly effective for removing discoloration and deodorant stains.
❔ How do I remove chocolate stains?
Scrape off excess chocolate with a knife, rinse the stain from the back with cold water, and then wash with a grease-fighting detergent.
❔ How can I avoid damaging my clothes when removing stains?
Always test the stain remover on a hidden area first, dab instead of rubbing, and follow the washing instructions on the garment.
