Instruction manual
1
Make a warm soapy solution or 5% ammonia. Unfold the item with your spot on it and put something solid under the material, moisten it with a sponge or cotton swab. Dry with a towel and repeat, do so until all the spots have passed onto the backing that you put under the cloth.
2
Boil a thing in a saucepan, add pre-persal or hydrogen peroxide there. If the fabric is white, you can pre-soak it in milk, and then wash it.
3
Dilute 2-3 grams of citric acid in 20 ml of ethyl alcohol, heat in a saucepan on a stove to 40 degrees. Dip the cloth into the liquid and hold for 20 minutes, then rinse.
4
Add a few drops of acetic acid or a pinch of citric acid to warm water. Moisten the damaged area on the cloth and rinse with water. Then wash in the usual way.
5
Put a thing with a fresh spot of beets in boiling water. Or in a 10% solution of acetic acid. So you can remove the stain immediately, you just have to rinse the fabric.
6
Treat the material with sulfur dioxide gas - sulfur dioxide. Take a piece of sulfur or a pinch of sulfur powder. Put the substance on an iron plate or in a ceramic saucer and set fire to a match. Place the funnel upside down over the flame (so that sulfur dioxide can escape through the funnel tube). Moisten a fabric with a stain in warm water and keep it in a stream of outgoing gas, which bleaches it. Sulfur dioxide forms sulfuric acid with water (more precisely, sulfur dioxide hydrate) with water, and this compound discolors most contaminants. Cover the sulfur with an empty cup, so you stop the air. Rinse the treated area on the fabric.
7
Sprinkle the old beet stain with sodium hydrosulfite powder, pipette a 3% aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide onto the stain. Rinse the treated area with water mixed with vinegar (in a ratio of 1 to 3).
8
Mix in equal parts glycerin and raw egg yolk. Rinse the item with warm and then cold water. Do not use boiling water. This way you can easily remove beet stains from white fabrics.
9
Add a solution of 1% sodium hydrochloride and 20 ml of water to a damp cloth. Leave for an hour and rinse. So you will remove stains from light materials, if colored fabrics are dirty, just apply a thin layer of dishwashing detergent and leave to dry, and then wash as usual, not forgetting to rinse thoroughly.
