IMPORTANT TIP ALWAYS USE DISTILLED WATER …..TAP WATER LEAVES A RING AROUND THE STAIN………….
Bloodstains
Try a little hydrogen peroxide directly on the stain.
Lipstick
Blot the stain with white bread to absorb most of the color, then wash as usual.
Chewing Gum
Place the garment in the freezer. When it’s cold, pick the chewing gum off with your fingers or scrape with a dull knife or a credit card.
You can also rub an ice cube or two on the chewing gum and then scrape or pick the gum off. Then wash as usual.
Candle wax
Same as the chewing gum! Put it in the freezer or use an ice cube to get the fabric as still as possible, then pick or scrape off as much as you can. Place a paper towel on either side of the fabric. Using a warm iron, press on the paper towel over the wax stain. Replace the towels as often as needed to get all of the wax off the garment.
Apply laundry detergent to the stain let it set for 10 minutes then wash as usual.
Again, consider taking it immediately to the cleaners if it’s a pricy item!
