Use Lemon Juice to Remove Sweat Stains
Most people like white clothing because it goes with everything and can match nearly any style. But with overtime use, sweat stains start to appear and are difficult to remove. But thankfully you can easily fix this by simply squeezing some fresh lemon in water and rub the mixture on the stained area. The lemon has antibacterial and whitening qualities that greatly reduce yellow stains and odors in clothing. This is perhaps the simplest and the most affordable solution for cleaning sweat-stained clothing.
Remove Ink Stains with Milk and Vinegar
It can happen at work, home, or school and can totally ruin a good outfit. But before throwing out your inked stain clothes, try soaking them overnight in a mixture of 2 part whole milk and 1 part vinegar. Both ingredients are fairly effective on their own at breaking down and lifting out ink stains.
Use Baby Powder on an Oil Stain
Oil stains on clothes are hard and complicated to remove. Luckily though, you can easily get rid of this stain by simply putting baby powder on the stained area and letting it soak up the oil overnight.
Get Rid Mildew Stains with Salt and Vinegar
Mildew stains on clothes are awful and annoying. But instead of using some chemical stain remover, you can use a non-toxic recipe.
Just mix equal parts of vinegar and water with some salt, and soak the clothing in the solution. The acid from the vinegar and the granule texture of the salt will do all the work leaving your clothes stain free.
Use Dawn to Get Grease Stains
If you think that Dawn can only be used in the kitchen, then think again! All you have to do is pour some Dawn on the stained area and throw into your laundry machine.
