It only takes a moment for our favorite dress to get stained!
Very often we resort to chemical cleaning products, which also run the risk of damaging the fibers of our favorite clothing.
But in reality, there are many homemade and natural methods to remove stains from clothes in a simple, inexpensive and effective way.
Wine stains
If the tablecloth unfortunately has wine stains, you must first remove them quickly.
We can do something about it by applying some mineral water or beer. Simply put a dab on the stain, take a sponge and scrub, then pat dry.
At this point we can move on to washing.
Salt
In some cases, especially for larger tasks, sprinkling with fine salt is also possible.
Wait a few minutes and rinse with mineral water.
Oxygenated water
This natural chemical compound has stain-removing properties and can also be used on stains such as wine stains.
If tablecloths or white shirts are dirty, blot them with hydrogen peroxide and a cotton ball and let it sit for a few minutes.
Colors
Ink or marker stains are the most difficult to remove and perhaps the most commonly seen, especially on children’s shirts.
If the markers are washable, a few drops of organic soap and water will help remove the stain.
When it comes to ink, you can go about it in two ways:
If the stains are fresh, treat the stain immediately with organic dish soap and a little hydrogen peroxide.
If the stains are old, it is best to pre-treat them with water and percarbonate.
For a “stronger” method, use denatured alcohol. Place absorbent paper under the fabric where the stain is located.
Then apply the alcohol little by little and you will notice that the stain is absorbed by the blotting paper.
Coffee stains
When coffee is a pleasant drink, the stains it leaves behind are slightly less!
Try treating fresh stains with a little mineral water and blotting lightly.
If they are more stubborn, massage the stain with a mixture of baking soda and a little organic liquid soap. Allow to take effect, brush out and then wash.
Wax stains
It happens very often that at a dinner with friends the tablecloth has wax stains!
One of the best ways to remove wax stains from fabric is to use paper and an iron!
Place two sheets of paper under the tablecloth and near the stain. Then approach the iron or hairdryer, which creates heat.
With this household tip, the stain comes off the tablecloth more easily and sticks to the sheet.
