Fast Acting Stain Removal Tips
2

• Stains can easily ruin an item of furniture or a
  carpet, and if you share your home with kids,
  pets or even clumsy folk, youll understand the
  horrors of stains that you simply cant get rid
  of.
• However, there are some ways to help eliminate
  spillages before they get the chance to turn into
  a permanent stain, as youll see below
• Getting rid of coffee stains
• As with all of these stain removal tips, time is
  of the essence, and the faster you respond to a
  spillage, the better the outcome will be
  provided you use the right cleaning methods, that
  is!

• To successfully eliminate a coffee stain, try any
  one of the following three tips
• For fresh coffee stains simply run water over
  the area. For carpets, saturate with water and
  blot the stain away
• For dried coffee stains apply laundry detergent
  to the affected area and scrub gently using a
  toothbrush. Leave it for ten minutes, then rinse
  well with warm water.
• For stubborn coffee stains combine a teaspoon
  of white vinegar with laundry detergent to make a
  paste and apply it to the stain. Rub gently with
  a toothbrush, let sit for five minutes before
  rinsing thoroughly.

• Getting rid of wine stains
• Use white vinegar to neutralize a red wine stain
  (soak it in vinegar, rinse and leave to dry), and
  if the stain is on a white fabric, you can use
  bleach to eliminate it, although this is most
  effective on dried stains.
• Note, however, that heat shouldnt be applied to
  any cleaning agent you use, as this will cause
  the stain to set.

5

• Getting rid of ketchup stains
• Remove any excess ketchup from the item first
  with the back of a butter knife, before running
  it under the sink with plenty of cold water.
  Always run the water through the back of the
  stain, not the front. Then, mix a teaspoon of
  laundry detergent with half a glass of cold water
  and rub the solution into the stain with a
  microfiber cloth before rinsing with cold water.
• If the stain is stubborn, try blotting it with
  white vinegar, then placing the item on a
  delicate, cold water cycle in your machine.

6

• Getting rid of bloodstains
• Cold water and hand soap is great for removing
  blood from fabrics, but Hydrogen Peroxide is even
  better. Reacting with the iron in the blood, it
  breaks it down into easy-to-clean particles.
  Rinse in cold water once the peroxide has been
  applied to the stain, and only put the item
  through the dryer once the stain has completely
  gone, otherwise the heat will set it.
• Stains dont have to ruin a perfectly good item
  of clothing or spoil a carpet in your home, but
  you must remember to act fast, the minute a
  spillage occurs.
