Sometimes, removing stains can seem like an art most of us did not take classes in. A few wonderful people have figured out the "magic" behind removing nearly every stain from everything. It makes sense to learn stain removal basics instead of throwing things away.
Here are stain removal tips that will help you no matter what stain/fabric you are dealing with: Blot, never rub a stain. Rubbing pushes the staining agent further into the fibers. Test the stain remover in an inconspicuous spot first. Antique fabrics are particularly vulnerable to staining even from the stain removal products. Move immediately to remedy the stain. The longer the agent stays on the fabric, the more it will stain or dye the fabric.
The following tips are for removing common stains. Some of the stain removers may surprise you.
Sweat StainsCrush several plain aspirin in a cup of warm water. Apply to the stain and work in. Launder the item.
BloodPour hydrogen peroxide on the blood and allow it to bubble. Blot off with a clean cloth. Repeat as necessary. It works by breaking the red blood cells apart.
Rubbing alcohol will also help remove blood. Use the same as peroxide; pour on and blot off. It will not bubble
GumRub ice on the gum and wait for it to harden. Lift off.
Rub it with rubbing alcohol. It will make the gum harden as well.
Grease and OilDishwashing detergent will remove grease and oil from fabrics.
Dawn dishwashing liquid will also remove motor oil, cooking grease.
InkIf the stain is from spilled ink, quickly make a mixture of 50% hydrogen peroxide and water. Pour in a ring around the spill. This will keep it from spreading.
Blot as much as possible from the fabric with clean cloth. Use fingernail polish, rubbing alcohol or liquid hand soap, blot the area until the stain has gone. Rinse completely and allow to dry.
Of course, commercial stain removers are wonderful at removing tough stains from most fabrics. If there is any doubt about removing a stain from an expensive or antique fabric, locate a dry cleaner that specializes in stain removal.
