stain removal guide
so i'm a klutz and am always getting stains on my clothes. so here's my own stain removal guide of stain removals that have worked - at least pretty well. nothing is gauranteed. i'll keep adding to them as i remember / find new ones.
-bicycle grease (current): apply dishwashing soap to stain and let sit. then launder.
-butter & oil stains: apply goop. sit for 2 hours. rub in a bit of laundry detergent. launder. don't overdo it on goop and don't let sit for excessive amounts of time.
-lotion - rub with terry cloth towel. should get most of it out.
-ink stains (especially ballpoint) - boiling water - pour over several times and then launder.
-fruit stains (except grape) - same as ink.
-chocolate - same as butter & oil stains.
-coffee - little bit of vinegar with water. i think cold water.
- tomato based products - soak with cold water for a couple of hours. then rub in dishwashing soap or laundry soap and wash.
-grape juice - cold water.
