Experience the perfect summer without worrying about pesky stains ruining your favorite activities. Fran Forgione, the esteemed laundry expert from AO.com in Manchester, has shared some clever tips and tricks to eliminate those stubborn summer stains using easily available home items. Instead of reaching for expensive and harsh chemicals, you’ll be surprised at how effective inexpensive household items can be.
Protect your skin from harmful rays by applying sun cream, also known as sunscreen. However, be wary of the “yellow marks” it can leave on your white clothes. If you accidentally get sun cream on your clothes, act swiftly. Start by scraping off the excess with a blunt knife. Instead of spending on costly stain removers, create a mixture of distilled white vinegar and dish soap. Rub the soap into the stain and soak the affected clothing in a combination of equal parts water and white vinegar overnight. Rinse with cold water, and you’ll notice the difference. For larger stains, repeat the process until they vanish.
Enjoy a glass of red wine in the sunshine without worrying about spills. If disaster strikes and you find a red wine stain on your clothes, don’t panic. Hairspray is your secret weapon. Spray the stain liberally with hairspray and let it sit for a few minutes. Dab the stain to remove any residue, and repeat as needed. Finally, wash the garment on the highest possible setting to completely eliminate the stain. Alternatively, cover the stained area with soda or sparkling water immediately. The bubbles will help push the stain out of the fabric.
Children and adults alike love running around on dewy grass, but grass stains can be a nightmare to deal with. However, white vinegar comes to the rescue once again. Create a mixture of one part white vinegar and equal parts water, and cover the stain with it. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes, or longer for better results. Then scrub the stain and rinse with cool water. Apply your regular laundry detergent to the stain, gently scrubbing it with a brush. Let it soak again before rinsing with cold water. Remember, use cold water to prevent the stain from setting.
What’s better than the aroma of a sizzling BBQ during summer? But grease stains can be a hassle. While washing detergent works well, a paste made with cheap washing powder and water can be just as effective and save you some money. Saturate the affected area with washing detergent or apply the homemade paste. Let it soak for a few minutes before washing. Avoid using the tumble dryer for grease-stained clothing to prevent baking in the stains. Instead, air dry them.
Coffee and tea spills can happen at any time, even during the summer. If you spill your favorite beverage, quickly run the stain under cold water for the best possible results. If that’s not an option, apply dish soap or liquid washing detergent as soon as possible and let it soak into the stain for at least an hour. Keep the stain wet to allow the product to work on removing it. For stubborn stains, try a mixture of white vinegar and water or white toothpaste as an exfoliator to break down the stain. Another option is a paste made of baking powder and water. Be persistent and continue working the paste into the stain until it disappears.
Say goodbye to summer stains and hello to carefree enjoyment. With these effective and affordable solutions, you can tackle any stain without breaking the bank. Enjoy your activities, bask in the sun, and don’t let stains dampen your spirits!
