How To Remove Stubborn Stains From Clothing and Linens

1. Coffee & Tea

• Key Agent: White Vinegar
• Method:
  1. Rinse the back of the stain with cold water.
  2. Create a paste with 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts baking soda. Apply to the stain and let it fizz for 10 minutes.
  3. Rinse thoroughly and launder as usual.

2. Grease & Oil

• Key Agent: Dish Soap (like Dawn)
• Method:
  1. Lay the garment flat and cover the stain with cornstarch or baby powder to absorb excess oil. Wait 15 minutes, then brush off.
  2. Apply a few drops of dish soap directly to the stain and gently work it in with your fingers.
  3. Rinse with hot water and wash immediately

3. Red Wine

• Key Agent: Salt & Cold Water
• Method:
  1. Blot up as much liquid as possible with a clean cloth.
  2. Generously cover the stain with salt to draw out the wine. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then brush off.
  3. Stretch the fabric over a bowl and secure with a rubber band. Pour boiling water from a height of about a foot onto the stain. Then, launder normally.
