Homemade Stain Remover Supplies.
I just have to search the internet for natural and safe stain removal tips. My son frequently stains his uniform in school and they are making my laundry time complicated. I am not fond of using chemicals on clothes so I would usually resort to scrubbing. I am afraid though that too much scrubbing may damage the clothes. I am taking note of these household supplies from Organizingyourway.net the next time I am faced with stain clothes.
1. Baking soda: Baking soda can be a gentle laundry booster when added to the wash.
2. Borax: Borax is also a natural laundry booster, and can also be used as part of certain homemade stain remover recipes
3. Dishwashing liquid: A bleach-free, lanolin-free mild dishwashing liquid can work wonders on oily and greasy stains.
4. Meat tenderizer (unseasoned).
5. Ammonia: Can be helpful for removing some really stubborn stains like dried blood, sweat, pen ink, and urine stains.
6. White vinegar: White vinegar is a mild acid, and is helpful for neutralizing odors and also for removing many types of food stains.
7. Rubbing alcohol: This stain remover works well to remove ink, and also for stubborn berry stains, among others.
8. Hydrogen peroxide: Hydrogen peroxide is a natural bleaching agent that works similarly to oxygen bleach. It can be helpful in removing blood and chocolate stains, especially.
9. Nail polish remover: It can be used to remove such stains as nail polish or correction fluid, like White-Out, from clothing.
