Dirty clothes are not always washed in the washing machine. Sometimes you have to resort to unusual methods of stain removal, so do not rush to throw away a shirt, blouse or pants, stained with grease, wine or something else.
Housewives are often more inventive than anyone else, because not everyone has an unlimited budget and the ability to buy new things every week. The need for savings is pushing for the development of new stain cleaning methods. Before cleaning, determine the type of contamination.
How to remove oily stains
Greasy spots are the most common. Almost all foods contain fat. Oil stains are very difficult to remove if you try to do this only with a washing machine. Ammonia is the best assistant in the fight against fat. It is necessary to dilute it with water and detergent, and then rinse the stain with this solution. Next, just iron, but not with a hot iron, but a little cooled down.
You can sprinkle a fresh stain with chalk, cover with a piece of paper and put something heavy on top. After 3-4 hours, you can clean the thing, getting rid of fat. Sometimes a simple soap helps, but it is unlikely to cope with pollution if the stain is old.
How to remove sweat stains
Sweat spots are especially visible on light clothing. These are white blouses and men's white shirts. If your machine does not cope with stains of this kind, do not despair. You can solve this problem by pre-soaking the contaminated area in a special solution.
You can use water and salt in the proportion of one glass - one tablespoon, either lemon juice or vinegar. You simply wipe perspiration stains with a prepared liquid, and then wash it in the machine as always. The result will pleasantly surprise you.
How to remove a stain from wine
A wine stain is the biggest problem for having a good mood at a party or celebration. If you doused your clothes, do not despair. There is a way to quickly get rid of the stain, so you don’t have to throw away the thing.
You will need water and soap. Dissolve more ordinary soap in water, and then gently wash the stain from the edges to the center with a cotton pad. If the stain is fresh, and the cloth drenched in wine is not too tender, you can rinse it with boiling water. In hot water, vinegar or citric acid can be added for the best effect. You can remove the old wine stain with a weak solution of citric acid - treat it with a stain, and then simply wash off the remaining acid with warm water.
How to remove a blood stain
Many mistakenly believe that blood is not washed off by anything. In most cases, people simply throw bloodstained items into the car and wait for the results. Almost always, this leads to disappointment, because the stain does not disappear, but spreads.
The main advice - do not rush. Allow the stain to dry, put the item in cold water with salt dissolved there for several hours, and then just wash the soiled item in hot water.
How to remove stains of paint
Paint should be removed with a solvent, gasoline, turpentine, acetone or kerosene. After removing the main contamination, we take alcohol and wipe the remainder of the spots until they disappear completely. The thing will smell strongly, so you need to wash it after that.
If the paint was based on an emulsion, then it can be removed with a strong solution of vinegar. Soda and warm water will also help, but for starters, it's better to walk with turpentine anyway.
