5 household Items that will help you get rid of stains

Firstly its important to identify a stain, whether its an oily-based stain, dye stain or protein based stain like egg etc. Then you can use the household items you have to eliminate the problem. 

Water

The simplest but often the most effective thing you can use is water. Its great for getting rid of stains in fabric materials. Simply run it under a cold tap for oil based stains like mayonnaise. 

Liquid laundry detergent

Its perfect to use this detergent on heavy stains as it has as many enzymes as a commerical laundry stain remover. Simply put a little bit of the product on the stain and leave it to work its magic for atleast 10-15 minutes then just place it in the wash along with your other clothes. 

Washing up liquid

Washing up liquid such as fairy liquid is a great de-greaser product and would be great on some oily based stains, although for tough or set-in stains, our domestic cleaning service can handle it quickly and thoroughly.. Simply rub a little bit of the product on the affected area and let it work for 10 minutes then wash away. 

Baking soda

Perfect for taking the smelly odors out of clothes and other items. Simply mix with some water and spray over the smelly items and leave overnight. Then you would just wash the mixture away with a normal wash. 

Shampoo

Shampoo is made to cut through oils in our hair, so naturally, it’s great for removing some of those oils from stains. You would just simply rub a bit of the product on the stain with your fingers and let it work for 5 minutes then just wash away.
