Things to remember while removing stains from clothes

 

If you are in search of laundry near me because you have not any idea how to remove stains from clothes, this guide will surely help you.


When the stain occurs, it is convenient to intervene immediately, leaving the operation to eliminate it afterward. This first intervention should treat the following:


•    If the fallen product is solid, eliminate as much as possible of it by scratching delicately with the blade of a knife.

•    If it were a liquid, absorb the maximum also, soaking a cloth in it; avoid the absorbent papers, because it would only be necessary for the stain to add the lint released by the paper.

•    If the stain was solid fat, like butter, etc. Cover it with an abundant dose of talcum powder and brush a few minutes later with a soft bristle brush, without pressing.

•    If it is not fat, soak the area concerned in water at room temperature. At a minimum, the water will dissolve part of the stain facilitating subsequent operations.


Emergency equipment to remove stains will consist of the following elements: clean white cloths, a white absorbent paper, a brush, some small sponges, a wooden scraper, rubber gloves, an eyedropper to accurately dose the different products (the dispenser will be washed after each use).


Some basic products for the task, such as bleach,  a solvent, a dry cleaning product containing trichloroethylene, ammonia, white vinegar, talcum powder and shampoo for carpets.


Carefully read the instructions for use of the products used to remove stains and do not use them without wearing gloves. Use them with the window open to ensure good ventilation, and away from any source of heat.


Also avoid breathing vapors that fire, because sometimes they can be toxic, and do not smoke when you use them. On the other hand, keep in mind that the ambient temperature acts on the volatile products and that cold its effectiveness is superior.

Keep the products in their original containers, well labeled and out of the reach of children. And, as a precautionary measure, always do a test before directly attacking the stain.


•    Never apply water on spots that are removed with a solvent.

•    To absorb a liquid, use a white paper cloth or napkin.

•    To remove dry stains of tissues, use Glycerin to soften them.
