If your house is anything like mine then you spend a considerable amount of time battling tough stains on your families clothing. Removing stains really is easy if you have some trade secrets.
First be sure to treat stains as soon as possible, within the hour if you can and avoid rubbing or scrubbing the stain, this can actually cause it to set and damages the fibers of your garment.
Next, treat your stain with the appropriate agent:
Grass, lipstick and ink, place stain face down on a white cloth and saturate the back of the stain with rubbing alcohol, blot with the cloth until stain begins to dissolve and launder as usual.
Coffee stains come out easily when they soak in a solution of borax and hot water.
Red wine, saturate soiled area with club soda and blot with a clean towel.
Fruit juice stains can be removed by pouring boiling water directly onto the stain
Oily stains shake on some talcum powder to absorb oil and then treat with a stain remover.
Under arm stains from white tee shirts add 1 aspirin to a load of clothes along with detergent and stains are gone!
Coming clean is easy when you have some tricks of the trade.
