Tips for removing stains from clothes

  • Act quickly by blotting the stain with a clean cloth before washing to prevent it from setting.
  • Use a pre-treatment spray like Vanish or Cif on the stain before washing to break down the stain molecules.
  • For coffee or tomato stains, mix a solution of water and white vinegar, then apply it directly to the stain before washing.
  • Always check the care label on your garment to ensure you're using the correct washing temperature and detergent.
  • For stubborn stains, consider soaking the garment in a mixture of water and oxygen-based bleach for several hours before washing.
