When it comes to stubborn stains, you can find yourself pulling your hair out, trying to find a solution. After all, when you buy something that you like, you hope to enjoy it for years to come. At some point, we might give up, throw in the towel altogether, and give our clothes away to Goodwill, or maybe even throw them away!
However, before you get to this point, it’s important to know that you’d be surprised to know that you can get even the most stubborn of stains out if you know the right tips and tricks. To help you, here are some ways to conquer even the most stubborn stains and restore your clothing to what it once was.
Act Quickly
Time is your worst enemy when it comes to stains. You want to make sure that you act quickly if you hope to increase your chances of getting the stain out. The longer that you allow a stain to sit, the longer it’s going to sift its way deep into the fabric of your clothing.
So, as soon as you notice that you’ve spilled something, act immediately. Blot the stain gently and soak up as much of what you spilled as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this will spread the stain even more.
Consider Professional Help
If your item of clothing is considerably expensive, you want to make sure that the job is done correctly. Instead of attempting to do it yourself, you might consider bringing it to a professional cleaner. They’ll understand the nature of the stain and use the correct technique and solution. Otherwise, you could find yourself with a nasty stain that’s unwilling to budge.
Use Natural Products
Sometimes, our first instinct is to use heavy chemicals or products we find at the store when frequently, the best solution is to turn towards nature. That’s right— every now and then, the best removers are already at the tips of your fingers. Sometimes, all it takes to get the stain out is to open your cupboards and take a look at what you have already. From baking soda to vinegar, you’d be surprised what kind of solutions you can find already available to you.
Be Careful
Sometimes, the best prevention is being as careful as possible. That means being mindful when you’re around things that could potentially stain your clothing. In other words, don’t wear a white dress if you’re eating spaghetti, and forget about wearing silk clothing while you’re eating anything greasy. Be smart and careful, and you’ll save yourself hours that you would have spent trying to get a stubborn stain to come out.
