What's the Best Natural Stain Remover for Clothes?

If you are looking for a natural stain remover you can make one so easy. But it will depend on the type of fabric you are using it on and the type of stain it is. We will give you a couple of examples of the types you can use and the stains you can use them on. Be sure to pretest the fabric for colorfast before using.

The Methods for Removal

When you have a stain, the way you remove it is as important as what you use. Always blot the stain never rub. Rubbing will smear the stain and also cause damage to the fabric. Delicate fabrics you need to take special care with. Use your forefinger as a cleaner and gently blot just barely using pressure.

Cleaners to Use

If you are using bleach to clean and think that is the way to take out stains, think again. Use hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle. If you have coffee, tea, pet stains, etc. Use the peroxide. First spray the stain generously with the peroxide and let it sit for a few moments. Then blot gently with a clean micro fiber type cloth or one that doesn't shed. Keep doing this until the stain is removed Then rinse with water and launder as usual.

Another cleaner you can use is a combination of white vinegar and baking soda in equal amounts. This will take out grease and oily stains. Always rinse the stained area off before washing. If the stain is not gone completely repeat process. Do not heat dry until stain is gone. Heat sets it in.
