How To Remove Stain.

In today’s blog, I’m going to discuss a set of techniques to remove stains. That is absolutely vital for keeping your clothes in wearable condition as long as possible. No matter how careful a man may be in his day-to-day life with his clothes the occasional stain is inevitable. Whether it is from a plate of spaghetti, an improper tire change on the side of the road. Or really anytime spent with a toddler you’re bound to encounter a tough stain at some point.

Fortunately, however, stain removal doesn’t have to be a chore or involve the dry cleaner. As long as you understand some basic chemistry, you’ll be all set to begin. Here’s a breakdown of the four basic types of stains you’re generally going to encounter. Stains can be organic or inorganic in nature and from there can be oily or not. In other words, the four types of stains are organic, inorganic, oily organic, and oily inorganic.

Here are the best techniques to remove different types of stains –

 1.) Standard Organic

stains are best treated with hot water and a substance that’s commonly marketed as bleach alternative (sodium percarbonate) or SPC. To remove an organic stain. Start by laying a towel down on your work surface, next add a bit of SPC to a basin of hot water. Stir to completely dissolve it. Then thoroughly wet the stained area of the garment in question with the hot water and SPC mixture. Lay the garment flat on the towel, and gently blot at the stain with a clean cotton cloth.

 2.) Standard Inorganic

Stains, like ink, are best removed by the use of a solvent rubbing alcohol. More technically isopropyl alcohol is best, although you can also use different substances like plain vodka. Applying the alcohol to the stain with a spray bottle works well. After which point it can gently blot, then wash as normal. And as before you can add some SPC to the machine.

3. & 4.) Oily Organic and Oily Inorganic

Oily stains whether they’re organic or inorganic in nature are best treated my first dealing with the oil. As oils often surround other staining substances. will be looking at these stains sort of like a stained sandwich that is oil layer stained layer oil clear to remove the first oil layer fill. A spray bottle with a solution of 50% white vinegar, 50% water spray the oil layer of the stain and then blot actually using a stain brush, next apply a bit of water along with laundry detergent to deal with the main stained layer and for the final oil layer spray again with your water and vinegar solution and blot or scrub a final time to finish.Â

Sweat Stains

Finally, I’m going to give special attention to sweat stains, they are best treated with a combination of SPC and a stained solution. Apply a few drops of this stained solution to the sweats and then add a pinch of SPC, you should create a paste with either your finger or your stain brush, let this paste sit for at least 20 minutes or longer if you prefer and then rinse it out with hot water, in fact, boiling water poured directly from a tea kettle works best, then wash as normal with optional SPC.

So what about treating stains on wool and silk garments, these types of garments are usually more delicate in nature so you won’t want to apply SPC to them directly or scrub them with the same brush for these fabrics it’s best to pre-soak for a little in water with a bit of stain solution and then wash as normal. of course, these garments if placed in a washing machine should be individually and tightly packed in mesh washing fax you can add a bit of SPC to the drum of the machine while washing if you’d like since the low concentration and minimal direct contact won’t be overly abrasive.

 Here are a few final tips:

1.) Whichever stained type and the consequential method to remove you’re dealing with know that you shouldn’t expect to see a complete clearing up of the stain as you’re scrubbing rather aim for about an 80% reduction in stain visibility and then machine wash the rest should come out.

2.) Washing on warm and with the express setting should be sufficient for most garments and you can always add a little bit of SPC to the drum if you so choose.

3.) Finally, it may well be that a given stain isn’t solely one type of the stains covered here, therefore if you’ve tried one removal method and the stain hasn’t completely come out just try 1 or more of the other removal methods and you should ultimately be successful.

With these techniques in your Arsenal, stains should no longer pose a significant threat to you or your garments and you should be able to take care of them completely from the comfort of your own home.Â
