Instruction manual
1
With the advent of summer and the opening of the summer season, the topic of grass stains on clothes, in particular, hard-to-remove and persistent stains from nettles, becomes relevant. Nevertheless, there are many proven methods to quickly and efficiently remove stains from nettles on clothing using specially prepared solutions.
2
Before removing the nettle stain, check how the clothing fabric reacts to the prepared solution. Place a small amount of the solution on the inside seam or on a spare piece of cloth. Pay attention to whether the fabric has spread, or if it has changed color or texture. If not, you can safely use the solution to remove stains. Treat the contaminated area with a soft cloth moistened with a solution, gauze, brush or sponge, gradually moving from the edges to the center of the stain.
3
Use saline. Prepare it from table salt, diluting a tablespoon of salt in half a glass of warm water. Fill the stain with a solution, wash thoroughly after removal. After the clothes have dried, the stain should disappear.
4
Use boiling water. Fill them with a stain, after stretching their clothes, and then stretch them just as well. If necessary, repeat the procedure several times until the stain completely disappears.
5
Find application to ordinary wine vinegar. Dilute a glass of vinegar in a bowl of water and soak soiled clothing in it for at least an hour. Then remove the item and wipe the spot with a stiff brush. As in all previous cases, after removing the stain, stretch the clothes.
6
Try using ammonia. Dilute a teaspoon of ammonia in a glass of warm water, soak the stain in the resulting solution and lightly wipe with a cloth or gauze. Then thickly lather the stained area with laundry soap, preferably dark, and leave it for at least an hour. And then wash clothes, in the washing machine or manually.
7
Use natural lemon, squeezing juice out of it, or, in its absence, dilute citric acid with water. Proceed in the same way as in the previous cases described: wipe the stain with lemon juice or citric acid solution with a brush, and then wash the clothes.
8
Keep in mind that fresh stains are removed much easier than old ones, so when removing dried and old stains, the procedure will have to be repeated as many times as needed, washing the contaminated area thoroughly with water more than once.
