Juice stain removal:
Clear fruit juices, such as grapefruit, orange, or apple can be removed by blotting out as much of the juice as you can, and then rinsing with cool water.
Don't use detergent on the stain - it will set it and make it impossible to remove. Instead, use white vinegar and blot to remove.
Tea stain removal:
Tea stains can be removed by dipping a sponge in white vinegar and applying to the stain, or, soak the garment in a solution of 3 cups of white vinegar to one cup of water, then, rub the garment to remove any lingering residue and rinse in cold water. If the stain persists, rub with salt. Rinse, and launder as usual.
Don't throw the garment into the dryer, as the heat will set any remaining stains.
Coffee stain removal:
Mix a teaspoon of a good dishwashing detergent, such as Dawn, with a cup of lukewarm water. Sponge the area with the dishwashing solution, then blot again with your clean white cloth, or mix 1/3 cup of white vinegar with 2/3 cup of lukewarm water. Once again sponge the area with this solution, and blot again with a clean white cloth.
Rinse with clean water, and launder as soon as possible.
Blood stain removal:
Fresh blood can be removed with cold water or club soda. Sponge stain immediately with cold water or club soda and dry with a soft absorbant terry towel. Repeat as necessary.
To dried blood, using peroxide on the blood before washing worth a try.
Or, mix one teaspoon of a mild ph balanced detergent with a cup of ice cold water, or, mix one tablespoon of household ammonia with a half cup of ice cold water, then sponge with clean ice cold water.
Chewing gum removal:
It can be removed by first hardening the gum with an ice cube, then, scrape off all that you can with a dull butter knife, rub the area with a good pre-treat enzyme product.
Rubbing the spot gently with a liquid laundry detergent before wash is helpful in removing gum.
Lipstick stain removal:
Lipstick is a dye in an oily base. Therefore, a solvent based remover is the only type that will remove it.
Water based or wet spotters will only spread and set the stain.
Nail polish stain removal:
Apply nail polish remover (acetone), then, mix one teaspoon of a mild pH balanced detergent with a cup of lukewarm water, sponge with clean water.
Juice stain removal:
Clear fruit juices, such as grapefruit, orange, or apple can be removed by blotting out as much of the juice as you can, and then rinsing with cool water.
