STAIN REMOVAL TIPS
Before using special-purpose stain removers, try using the natural methods that do not harm the
environment on less stubborn stains.
However, prompt action is required! Soak the stain with an absorbent sponge or a paper towel;
then, rinse with cold (lukewarm) water – but never with hot water!
Stains
Stain removal
Mud
When the stain is dry, first scrape it off the garment before washing
it in the washing machine. If the stain is stubborn, soak it with an
enzyme-based stain remover before the wash. If the stain is not
stubborn, wash the laundry with liquid detergent or powder detergent
and water before the wash.
Antiperspirant
Before washing in the washing machine, apply liquid detergent
onto the laundry. Apply stain removers on any stubborn stains.
Alternatively, use oxygen-based bleach for the wash.
Tea
Soak or rinse the laundry in cold water and add stain remover if
necessary.
Chocolate
Soak or rinse the laundry with lukewarm soapy water. Then, apply
lemon juice and rinse.
Ink
Before washing in the washing machine, apply stain removers on the
stain. You may also use denatured alcohol. Turn the garment inside
out and place a paper towel under the stain. Use the alcohol on the
back side of the stain. At the end of the pro-cess, thoroughly rinse
the garment.
Felt tip pens
Dilute some starch in water and apply it to the stain. When it dries,
scrape it off with a brush; then, wash the garment in the washing
machine.
Baby food
(urine, mud,
food stains)
Before washing in the washing machine, soak the stains in lukewarm
water for at least half an hour. For easier stain re-moval, add an
enzyme-based stain remover.
Grass
Before washing in the washing machine, soak the laundry in an
enzyme-based stain remover. Grass stains can also be re-moved by
soaking (for approx. 1 hour) in diluted lemon juice or distilled vinegar.
Eggs
Soak the garment in an enzyme-based stain remover. Soak in cold
water for at least 30 minutes or a few hours if the stains are stubborn.
Then, wash in the washing machine.
Coffee
Soak the garment in salt water. If the stain is not fresh, soak it with a
mixture of glycerine, ammonia and alcohol.
Shoe polish
Apply cooking oil to the stain and rinse.
Blood
Fresh stain – rinse the garment with cool water and wash it in the
washing machine.
Dried stain – soak the garment in an enzyme-based stain remover.
Then, wash in the washing machine. If the stain does not vanish, try
to remove it with a bleach suitable for your garment.
