How To Remove Stains On Clothes

Babies and children always get stains on their clothes. You wish to keep them happy and so, you will not blame them for the stains. On the other hand, the stains are really big troubles as they are so difficult to clean. Very often, you cannot remove all the stain with a machine wash. For some of the fabrics, you may use bleach to remove the stains. For delicate ones, you probably don't. Also, bleach is no good for your babies and children, so you need other better ways to remove the food and beverage stains.

From my experience, tea stain is one of the most common stains that mothers have to face. When you see a dark brown circle on your children's clothes, you may feel really frustrated. Don't be worry. Tea stain is not difficult to remove. If possible, wash the clothes under hot water immediately after a stain is formed. If this is not possible, you cannot wash the stain away with hot water alone. You can make a tub of highly concentrated salt solution. Soak the clothes into the tube for 15 minutes. Rub it a little bit and you may find the stain goes away!

Another common stain is coffee stain. Similar to tea stain, coffee stain can be removed with hot water right after the spill. Otherwise, you may apply a mixture of glycerin and egg yolk onto the stain. When it is dry, wash it with water. If the coffee is on a white shirt, you can wipe the stain with soda. As soda is slightly alkaline, you will find the stain disappears after a while.

Both adults and children love chewing gums. But, children easily get chewing gums stuck on their clothes. Though children's' clothes may not be expensive, you certainly do not wish to throw them away. What you need to do is to remove the chewing gum with a little knife from the clothes first. Then apply some egg white onto chewing gum stain to make it loose. Brush away the stain with a toothbrush. Finally wash the clothes with soapy water and rinse with water.

Another common stain is juice stain. The treatment for fresh stain and old stain is different. For fresh stain, sprinkle a little table salt onto the stain. Add a few drops of water and wait for a while. Then soak and wash the clothes in soapy water. For old stain, add a few drops of white vinegar onto the stain and wash and rinse it with water. For clothes made of synthetic fiber, you may place a cloth under the clothes. Use a cotton bud to dip some lemon juice and clean the stain.

Actually, you can find a lot of other methods for removing stains. Quite a lot of these methods involve different kinds of chemicals. These chemicals are harmful to your and your children's skin. Therefore, whenever it is possible, you should avoid them and switch to natural cleaners like vinegar, lemon juice, salt, etc.
