How to Remove Stubborn Stains from Your Laundry
Stains penetrate fabric fibers very quickly, which makes them harder to remove over time. Using the wrong cleaning products, hot water, or delaying treatment can cause stains to set permanently. That's why timing and using the correct method are critical.
Common Stains and How to Remove Them
☕ Coffee & Tea Stains
Rinse the stain immediately with cold water. Apply a small amount of liquid detergent and gently rub the fabric.
Avoid hot water, as it can permanently set the stain.
🍔 Oil & Food Stains
Blot excess oil with a paper towel first. Sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch on the stain and let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb grease.
Wash with a suitable detergent afterward.
🩸 Blood Stains
Always use cold water. Warm or hot water causes blood proteins to bind to the fabric, making the stain permanent.
Cold water and mild soap usually give the best results.
👕 Sweat Stains
For white clothes, a paste made of baking soda and water can be effective.
For colored fabrics, wash at a low temperature using a gentle cycle.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using hot water on fresh stains
- Overusing bleach without checking the fabric type
- Ignoring garment care labels
- Scrubbing stains too hard and spreading them
