While cleaning various stuffs and place generally seems like an extensive job, removing stains on them puts another seething annoyance to the higher level. Subconsciously, we always tend to use chemicals of higher complexity to remove stains, thinking that stains are hard to remove. So, ‘’hard-spelling” chemicals must be used to strike them out – but that is not the case always. We can follow cheaper ways to do the same work using natural, household ingredients. Stain removal is a part of cleaning the household but its application to commodities are so vast that we had to make an article about this separately. We will try to cover every type of stain there can be. So, please bear with us:

Mud Stains

The easy way to remove this easy stain of mud from clothing is simply to use laundry soap and a brush directly on the fabric. The stained area has to be soaked first with water and then rubbed with soap and a brush. If you are in a hurry, brush is not really needed. Just fold the stained area once as less as you can and then rub two sides of the fold against another, given that you have already got the stain wet and rubbed with laundry soap.

For thicker fabrics like rugs and furniture like upholstery, wet the stain fully with water, use laundry soap and a brush (yeah, a brush is really needed here) to remove the mud, then spray vinegar and water mixture on the area so that the soap can be dissolved. Eventually, soak it with a clean dry towel.

Grass Stains

Simple laundry detergent is enough to treat grass stains. Just work the detergent into the wet fabric with your fingers. Wait for 15 minutes and then wash the stain. If the stains remain or are older, you might have to get a big gun like oxygen bleach and add cold water and allow the garment to soak overnight, then finally wash it.

Ink Stains

Use rubbing alcohol. Dip cotton swabs in it and gently “brush” the stain from the outside edge toward the center to keep it from spreading. Remember to swap swabs as soon as each swab absorbs the ink moderately. Don’t wait for them to absorb the ink fully because that might backfire and smudge the fabric with more ink remains. Use multiple swabs. In case of permanent ink, it is too bad that this might be actually permanent on fabric.
