How to remove any stains: a complete and versatile manual

There are many letters, but each one is to the point! Save this mega-useful text for yourself, and then just a little something - search the text for "fruit" or "ink" - and conduct an emergency rescue operation!

What are the spots?

• Water soluble. From foods containing sugar, from wood glue, from water-soluble salts, from some water-soluble dyes and the like.
• Soluble in organic solvents(such as alcohol or gasoline). From fat, machine oil, oil paints, varnish, resin, cream, shoe polish, wax, parquet mastic.
• Insoluble. Neither one nor the other. From liquid paints, oxides of salts and metals, tannins, water-insoluble natural and artificial paints, protein substances, from blood, pus, urine, mold.

Seven steps to cleanliness

1. Each type of stain requires a special treatment. Some (coffee, cocoa, oil paints, fruit juice, wine, dust) should be removed not only with water-soluble stains, but also with grease and insoluble stains.

2. The action of the chemicals is better beforehand try on a spare piece of fabric, on stocks at the seams or on the hem. It is not recommended to use too concentrated solutions. It is better to repeat the treatment with a weak solution several times, alternating it with rinsing.

Ahtung! Remember that acetone dissolves acetate, triacetate, chlorin, PVC fibers. Acetic acid destroys acetate and triacetate fibers. On nylon, you also cannot remove stains with vinegar.

3. Before removing the stain, you need to thoroughly clean the thing from dust, first with a dry, then with a damp brush. It is recommended to remove the stain from the inside out by placing paper napkins or a small board covered with white cloth in several layers under the fabric.

4. Clean the stain with a cotton swab or a soft white cloth, or with a soft brush. First, a place near the spot is moistened with a tampon, then gradually move from the edge to the middle. With this method, the stain will not blur.

5. They begin to clean with a weak solution, if necessary, gradually increasing its concentration.

Salt and ammonia diluted in water are the best means of removing all kinds of stains of unknown origin.

6. Most fresh stains can be removed by rinsing them with cold water, then hot water. Be aware that water stains will also form on some materials. Therefore, you first need to do a test.

7. One of the best ways to remove stains is to treat them with bleach. This method, however, is not suitable for colored fabrics, as bleaches can destroy their color.

How to recognize the type of spot?

To remove a stain, you need to determine its origin. And also - the material on which it was formed.

• If the type of material is unknown, cut a small piece from a hidden place of the garment (hem or seam) and examine it. It makes sense to make the same stain on this piece of material and check the effect of the stain remover. This test is especially important when finished or colored materials are being processed. If the sizing or dye is unstable to the reagents used, traces will remain after treatment, which are often worse than the stains themselves.
• Fat stains do not have pronounced boundaries on the material. Their outlines are blurred or outlined in the form of rays spread in all directions. Fresh fat spots are always darker than the tissue on which they are formed. The older the grease stain, the more it brightens and acquires a matte shade. In addition, old grease stains penetrate deep into the material and even appear on the reverse side of it.
  Easily dissolving grease stains obtained from vegetable oils (olive, sunflower), butter, pork fat, wax.
  TO difficult to dissolve fatty stains include stains from resin, varnish, oil paint.
• Spots that do not contain grease (from beer, fruit juice, fresh fruit, tea, wine) have a sharp outline. Color - from yellowish to brown. The outlines are darker than the spots themselves.
• Stains containing fatty and non-fatty substances are among the most “popular”. Their edges, depending on the fat content, are more or less delineated. Such spots usually linger on the surface of the tissue, and only the fats entering them penetrate deeper. This group includes stains from milk, blood, soup, coffee with milk, sauce, street dust.
• So called oxidized stains have different edges and, depending on their age, turn yellow or red, and some turn brown. They appear on old spots as a result of the formation of new substances under the influence of light, oxygen and other factors. These stains are among the most difficult to remove. Stains from berries, fruits, cosmetics, tea, coffee, wine, mold tend to oxidize over time.

The dirty area should be cleaned with a wet brush. When the fabric is dry, moisten it with warm soapy water. If the stain persists, soak the cloth in a strong vinegar solution. If the soiled item cannot be washed, the stain should be removed with hydrogen peroxide (10-12%), having previously checked its effect on a piece of cloth.

We often find ourselves unable to remove stains from ink, iodine, greenery, herbs, wine and, in general, all types of dirt that are difficult to wash off. Contamination can easily turn a new piece of clothing into an unpleasant looking piece of fabric. But do not forget that most stains can be easily removed with the help of available tools or special household chemicals.

Types of stains, their characteristic features

The method of removing a particular stain will depend on its origin. But it should be understood that the division is conditional, since nothing prevents the spots from being mixed.

Food stains

Food stains are most common on clothing and therefore require special attention. They are usually a mixture of substances such as fat and protein. Oily spots are usually blurry and dark in color. Over time, the stain lightens and becomes extremely difficult to remove.

The hardest thing to remove stains from varnish, oil paint and drying oil; a little easier - fresh traces of vegetable oil, bacon, etc.

Oily stains may contain waxes, styrenes, glycerin, etc. Also, both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids may prevail in the composition:

• fats in which saturated fatty acids predominate: pork, beef and lamb fats, as well as oils - butter, castor, olive, palm, etc. As a rule, they do not cause problems during the removal process;
• fats in which saturated fatty acids predominate: fats of fish and other marine animals, as well as flaxseed, soybean, cottonseed and some other oils.

To remove such contaminants, it is recommended to use special stain removers and powders, but sometimes you can do at your own risk with folk remedies, for example, vinegar, peroxide and ethyl alcohol. Pork, beef, butter and olive oil stains are easy to remove

Protein stains include traces of blood, milk, and eggs. If less than an hour has passed since the appearance of the stain, then it is easy to wash it off even with plain water. But it is worth remembering that when heated, the protein is denatured, due to which it adheres tightly to the tissue, so the water must be necessarily cold.

Fruit and drink stains contain sugar, food coloring, or plant coloring matter from which the juice is squeezed. If contamination is noticed too late, problems may arise with its removal.

Household stains and traces of cosmetics

Household stains can include rust stains, limestone stains, wall and floor paints, painting paints, and more. They can have very different breeding difficulties.

Makeup stains are usually easy to wash off, but there is an exception - a stain from permanent or semi-permanent hair dye. But do not lose your vigilance, as an old stain from any paint can oxidize, becoming unremovable and making the fabric stiff.

Makeup stains must be removed as quickly as possible.

If a stain appears on your clothes, then the most obvious thing is to try to remove it with a soapy solution:

1. Remove dust and anything that might adhere to the stain.
2. Wipe the stain with soapy water using a cloth or brush.
3. Rinse the item.

You can use alcohol, vinegar or acetone to remove the stain, but it should be noted that some fabrics do not tolerate these products well. For example, cotton is eaten away by bleach.

If the stain did not succumb to either soapy water or washing powder, do not rush to resort to the use of aggressive products, but test them on a piece of a similar cloth.

Removing old stains

An old stain can be blotted with glycerin to soften and become more vulnerable to removal. To avoid streaking, dampen the outer edges of the stain with gasoline.

Features of the fight against pollution on white and colored clothing

White things require special treatment, since any change in tone is noticeable on them. It is necessary to remove each stain to the end, otherwise the washing will have to start from the very beginning.

Observe the following precautions when removing dirt from white clothing:

• do not use chlorine and products containing this chemical element in their composition, as it can give things a yellowish tint;
• use hydrogen peroxide with caution, as it can turn yellow under the influence of sunlight;
• Do not overdo stains from white silk and woollens. This is the case when it is better to carry out several washes.

Colored clothes do not tolerate high temperatures and strong physical impact, which should be taken into account when washing.

Methods for removing various types of stains

If a thing gets dirty, this is no reason not to wear it anymore, because there are many ways to remove a variety of stains.

Dirt: fresh and ingrained

Dirt stains are usually not difficult to wash, as they can be easily washed off even with cool water. But this simplicity can play a cruel joke, becoming the reason for the transformation of a beautiful piece of clothing into a nondescript rag: dirt can stick into the fabric, which will greatly complicate the removal process.

First, let's look at a way to remove a fresh stain:

1. Take a plastic knife and an old toothbrush.
2. Prepare some dishwashing liquid, bleach (the latter is optional).
3. Make sure the dirt is dry (this is easier to remove).
4. Scrape off the top layer of dirt with a knife.
5. Brush over the remaining stain.
6. Put some dish soap on the stain, add a little water.
7. Brush over the stain, keeping in mind the back of the fabric.
8. Do your normal wash.

Please note: if the stain is not completely removed, do not dry things in the tumble dryer, as after that it will be almost impossible to remove the dirt.

Fresh dirt is easy to wipe off

Ways to remove stubborn dirt:

• take a laundry soap or Antipyatin product, make a solution and soak a thing with a stubborn stain in it. Rub with your hands or with a brush, then wash as usual;
• dilute 1 tablespoon of turpentine in 3 liters of water and soak the item in the solution. Wait a couple of hours and then wash;
• make a solution in the ratio of 1 tablespoon of salt to 200 ml of water. Soak the item in it, wait 15 minutes and wash with laundry soap.

If the dirt remains even after all this, then there is a possibility that, for example, machine oil or other difficult to remove substance was in the soil.

Paint stains

If you spot a paint stain (almost any type), don't hesitate. The fact is that it is very easy to wash off fresh paint, but it is almost impossible to remove the hardened one.

To remove stains from watercolor, gouache and other water-soluble paints, it is enough to soak the item in water by adding washing powder, and in some cases it is enough to simply rinse it under running water.

To remove acrylic and latex paint, you must:

1. Turn clothes inside out.
2. Put in the washing machine.
3. Set the temperature to 30 ° C and the time to the maximum.

If the stain persists, try using laundry detergent and an old toothbrush to scrub off any remaining paint.
Watercolor and gouache stains are usually removed with water and detergent.

Alkyd enamel is more difficult to remove than previous types of paints. Unfortunately, a solvent cannot be dispensed with here. The following will work:

• acetone;
• turpentine;
• kerosene.

But it is also important to understand that the use of these products is not possible on all types of fabric. Do not use solvents on wool, silk or other delicate materials.

If an oil paint stain appeared less than an hour ago, you can try to get rid of it with water and liquid soap:

1. First, try prying off the surface of the stain with a knife.
2. Apply a small amount of liquid soap to the stain.
3. Wait for absorption.
4. Remove the stain with a cloth or brush.
5. Wipe off the remaining stain with a sponge.

If done correctly, the paint will most likely be removed. But there is a problem: a greasy stain will remain.
Scrape off the oil paint stain with a knife before washing.

Greasy stain

When dealing with greasy stains, it is very important to properly prepare the fabric for cleaning. It is necessary to remove dust particles adhering to it from the surface of the pollution, as this will greatly simplify the process of its removal.

Some ways to deal with greasy stains:

• laundry soap. Unfortunately, it will only help when removing a fresh stain. It is necessary to thoroughly lather the place of contamination and leave for 10-12 hours. After the expiration of time, you need to wash the thing;
• chalk powder. Apply to the stain and leave for 2-4 hours, then wipe off the chalk and wash in warm water.

If it does not help, then you should use special means.

Tea or coffee stains

Typically, teas do not leave stubborn stains, so a simple wash is enough. If that doesn't work or if you need a quicker method, you can make a 1: 1 solution of vinegar and water, and then soak the dirty part of the fabric in it. After removing the stain, you will need to rinse the item.

To remove a coffee stain, follow the instructions:

1. Heat the water in the kettle without boiling.
2. Pour water over the stain so that it passes through the fabric.
3. After 10–20 seconds, stop and sprinkle a little powder on the cloth, rub it in until it foams. On the other hand, you should do the same.
4. Continue pouring water until the foam is washed out.

If done correctly, the stain is likely to go away. If it does not help, you should carry out a regular wash.
Antipyatin soap removes most types of stains

Chocolate

Chocolate is a mixture of butter and sugar, making it doubly difficult to remove a stain from it.

The first thing to do with a fresh chocolate stain is to treat it with a solution of ammonia. If it doesn't help or doesn't help much, you can try washing the thing in a salt solution, and then rinsing it in clean water.

Wool and silk require special treatment, and therefore a soap solution with the addition of ammonia should be used for them. Soak a cotton swab in it and then wipe the dirt off.

If the stain is old, use glycerin. Heat it to a temperature of 35-40 degrees and wipe the place of contamination with it. If it does not help, use gasoline, and after it - a solution of the same amount of ammonia and water.

Egg stain

Egg stains are classified as protein ones, and therefore you should not wash clothes with such stains in hot water. In addition, due to the high fat content in the yolk, the contamination quickly turns into a combined contamination. This means that traces of eggs should be removed as quickly as possible.

You can remove such contamination with vinegar highly diluted with water. Take the solution, dab a cotton pad in it and remove the dirt. If the stain remains, then proceed to the next method:

1. Mix glycerin with ammonia in a 1: 4 ratio.
2. Soak a cotton pad in the solution and wipe the dirt off your clothes.

Vanish Stain Remover is oxygen-based and removes protein stains with ease

Contamination from dairy products and ice cream

Stains from dairy products are classified as protein-fat. Milk also contains milk sugar - lactose, but it does not play a serious role in this case.

Do not rush to throw a thing with a milk or ice cream stain into the wash, as the contamination can become difficult to remove. In addition, washing at high temperatures can lead to the formation of a protein film that is very difficult to remove.

Fortunately, fresh dairy stains are easy to remove even with ordinary soapy water. Place the item in a warm solution of soap or detergent and rinse thoroughly. You can also use solvents, but only on fabrics that tolerate their aggressive effects well. Stain remover Dr. Beckmann has a special formula that removes stains from edible oils, sauces, fat, cream, mustard, margarine, table spices, ketchup

Red wine, berries and juice

A fresh red wine stain can be easily removed in one simple but very harsh way:

1. Stretch the fabric over a regular saucepan.
2. Pour boiling water over the stain until it disappears.

You can add a small amount of vinegar to the water.

Berry and juice stains can be removed with a special stain remover or with homemade recipes:

1. Use warm water, laundry soap, or regular laundry detergent.
2. Dissolve a small amount of soap or powder in water.
3. Leave the item in the solution for 2-3 hours.
4. Wash the item in the same water.
5. Rinse with clean water.

You can also sprinkle salt on a fresh stain.
If it is not possible to wash the food stain straight away, sprinkle it with salt.

Biological contamination: sweat and urine

Sweat stains are extremely insidious, as they are poorly visible when fresh. And old pollution is not so easy to remove.

Methods for removing sweat stains by type of clothing:

• for woolen and silk fabrics, you can use a solution of salt in water. Soak a sponge in this solution and wipe the stain. But you should be careful with colored fabric;
• colored clothes can be treated with a mixture of denatured alcohol and egg yolk, and then wait about 2 hours. Remove the resulting crust with a knife. Then carry out a normal wash.

If a urine stain is found, it should be understood that the difference between a fresh and a frozen trace is colossal. Do not hesitate, as in a day it will be extremely difficult to remove such a stain.

You can use one of the following tools:

• citric acid. Make a solution in the ratio of 1 spoonful of acid to 200 ml of water, stir, apply to a cloth and leave for an hour. Then you will need to carry out a regular wash;
• vinegar solution. Drop a teaspoon of acetic acid into 200 ml of water. Then proceed in the same way as in the previous method.

If the stain is old, then hydrogen peroxide can be added to the solution from the second method.
Bio-based stains are handled by powders for washing baby clothes.

How to remove shoe polish, floor polish

Stains from shoe creams and floor polish can be removed in one simple way:

1. Make a solution of laundry soap (about an eighth of a bar for 0.5 L of water) and add about 50 ml of ammonia to it.
2. Pour the solution and rub the cloth until the stain disappears. If the contamination is fresh, then there will be no problems with removal.

If it does not help, you can moisten the cloth with a solution of hyposulfate, made in a ratio of 1 teaspoon to 100 ml of water.

Contamination from ash, soot and coal

It is quite difficult to remove all combustion products, especially soot.

For example, the following solvents can be used:

• acetone;
• White Spirit;
• kerosene;
• solvent 646.

Gently, wearing gloves, soak a cotton pad in one of the products and rub the stain until it is faint, then wash as usual. If that doesn't work, use bleach.
Always wear gloves when using harsh chemicals

Engine oil and fuel oil stains

Machine oil and fuel oil, being products made from petroleum, are, firstly, very difficult to remove, and secondly, they are removed in similar ways:

• dishwashing liquid such as Fairy. Surprisingly, these products do a good job of removing oil stains;
• crushed chalk. Apply chalk to a fresh stain and then soak in warm water. Unfortunately, this method is not suitable if the stain is more than a few hours old;
• solvent. Suitable for old stains. Soak two cotton pads in solvent and place one on a cloth and the other underneath to create an impromptu "sandwich" of two cotton pads and an oil stain.

Dishwashing detergent will help remove heavy fuel oil or engine oil stains

Scorched spots

The success of removing burnt spots, for example, from an iron, largely depends on the degree of damage to the structure of the product, and therefore in some cases it is still worth accepting that the look of your favorite thing is lost forever.

First way:

1. Soak a cotton ball or cloth in hydrogen peroxide.
2. Place the stained item on a vertical surface.
3. Press the peroxide washcloth over the stain.
4. Put another cloth on top, already dry.
5. Iron the top of the fabric gently several times.
6. If the bottom cloth dries up, wet it again.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 2-3 times.

Method two (not suitable for silk, wool and other delicate fabrics):

1. Squeeze the juice out of the lemon onto the stain.
2. Put the item in hot water for half an hour.
3. Run a normal wash or rinse.

Hydrogen peroxide can be used to remove stains from delicate fabrics

Contamination from iodine, greenery and potassium permanganate

Methods for removing stains from products from a home first aid kit:

• iodine. To remove iodine, you need to wet the stain in cold water, and then rub it with starch until it disappears;
