The Basics of Banishing Stains

Act Fast

The sooner you address a stain, the easier it will be to remove. Letting stains sit allows them to set into the fabric, making them harder to treat.

Stain Removal Essential Tools

Know Your Tools

Keep these essential items handy for quick stain removal:

• White Vinegar: Great for coffee, tea, and mild stains.
  

• Baking Soda: Perfect for neutralizing odours and treating grease or sweat stains.
  

• Dishwashing Liquid: A must-have for tackling oil and grease stains.
  

• Hydrogen Peroxide: Effective for stubborn stains like blood or red wine (use on light-coloured fabrics only).

Test First

Before using any product, test it on a hidden area of the fabric to ensure it won’t cause discolouration or damage.

Avoid Heat

Heat can set stains permanently. Always treat the stain before washing or drying the garment, and avoid ironing stained areas.

Basic Technique

• Blot, Don’t Rub: Gently blot the stain with a clean cloth to lift as much as possible without spreading it.

• Rinse with Cold Water: For most stains, running cold water over the back of the stain helps flush it out.
