Having a stain on your favourite clothing can be a devestating thought. What should you do then when it really happen?

Oil stain- salad dressing, lipsticks and auto grease create oil stains on clothing. To solve this problem, apply liquid detergent directly to the soiled area. Allow the item to stand for 15 min before laundering. The detergent will loosen and disssolve the soil so that it can be lifted away in the wash.

Protein stains-When your baby spits on your shoulder, you will surely panic. Milk contains organic matter that will harden and set over time or when exposed to hot water. Hence, soak your stained clothing in cold water for at least 30 mins before laundering. You may consider using a drop of hydrogen peroxide solution to the stain. (beware that it might decolour your clothing)

Tannin stains- Wine, coffee,soft drinks etc are the common cause of tannin stains. To solve this problem, simply pretreat them by soaking in cold water, then wash in the hottest temperature appropriate for the garment.

Dye stains-Food with strong colours such as blueberries or mustard create dye stains. Simply pretreat dye stains with direct application of detergent to the stained area and then wash in the hottest water appropropiate for the fabric and the problem is solved!
