How to remove stain and spot from your fabric

Many people have been asking how to remove stain from their Fabric with out damaging it, in this article  I am going to discuss how you can remove stain from all your fabrics

Wax

Scrape off as much as possible. Then place the fabric between two paper towels and press with warm iron. Sponge final traces of the stain with a solution of water (2 parts) and alcohol (1 part).

Soup

Sponge immediately with cold water. If stain remains rub in soap or detergent and allow it to dry. Rinse after few hours.

Oil/ ghee

Sprinkle liberally with talcum powder let it stay for at least ½ an hour, then brush the powder lightly. Rub with soap or detergent into the stain and wash with warm water if stain persists.

Nail polish

Clean with nail polish remover on all fabrics except acetate. Acetate needs to be sponged with amyl acetate.

Lipstick

Lessen stain with cold cream or glycerine. Wash as usual in undiluted detergent or pour liquid detergent through spray on it.

Deodorant

On silk they can’t be removed except maybe by dry cleaning, on cottons rub lemon juice on to the stain and launder normally.

Crayons

Loosen stain with kitchen shortening. Apply detergent and baking soda, working until the outline of the stain is removed. Launder and use bleach if safe.

Alcoholic beverage

Sponge with cold water, then with glycerine and water. Rinse with vinegar water before laundering.

Coffee

Sponge with cold water immediately or soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Rub with soap and rinse thoroughly.

Gravy stains

Sponge in lukewarm water. Launder in warm soapy water. In some fabrics it may be necessary to work soap / detergent well into the stain and allow it to stand for few hours. If the gravy has turmeric work detergent/ soap well into the stain, the stain will turn red in colour and keep the garment in the sun till the stain disappears, rinse in water to remove soap.Gravy stains
