Say Goodbye to Stains for Good
Thursday, April 13, 2017
There is nothing worse than ruining a carpet, item of clothing,
or piece of furniture by staining it. Even if the item is otherwise in good
condition, the mark could be very unsightly and could mean that you need to
spend money on replacing the whole thing. And, unfortunately, no matter how much
you try to wash and clean the stain, you might find that it doesn’t seem to
improve things.
Well, actually, that might be because you aren’t cleaning the
stain with the right product. Here are some great tips and tricks that you can
use whenever you are faced with another stubborn stain!
Grass Stains
Grass
stains can be extremely difficult to treat, and they are very often the bane of
most mother’s lives. No matter what kids have been doing outside - whether
playing football or simply going for a walk - you will normally always find one
on their clothes once they return! One of the best things you can do is apply
some rubbing alcohol to the stain before the clothes go in the wash. Let the
alcohol air dry and then pop it into the washing machine. This will make it
easier for your detergent to lift off the dirt.
Wood Stains
Lots of people think that it isn’t possible to remove stains
from wood. Thankfully, you won’t have to deal with them too often as wood can be
very hard to stain. One of the most common stains on it, though, is from iron.
But this can easily be removed by applying a wood bleach. You can click here to see information about on various websites. If
you notice some small stains on the wood that don’t look like iron marks, you
can try gently rubbing in toothpaste to them. You might be surprised to see the
paste lift the mark right off!
Wine Stains
Everyone panics when they accidently spill wine onto
their carpet! But it doesn’t automatically mean that the flooring is ruined.
You just need to act fast so that the stain doesn’t set. First of all sponge on
some cold water onto the mark and leave this to set for around thirty minutes.
This will prevent the wine from drying
into the carpet. It’s also worth mixing in some white vinegar if you have some,
as this will also prevent the stain from setting and will help to dissolve it.
Blood Stains
Mothers will also know just how common blood stains are
on clothes as well as grass stains! Just like with wine, you need to act very
fast when it comes to blood. Be sure to soak the stain well in plenty of cold
water and then rub with soap. Diluted ammonia is also great at removing heavy
blood stains. It’s also useful to add some stain remover to the mark before the
garment goes in the wash, as this will help the detergent.
So next time you spot a stain on something, don’t panic straight
away. As you can see, these very common culprits shouldn’t ruin any of your
things, and are very cleanable!
