How do you get stains off clothes?

Seltzer water, vinegar, oxy clean...it depends on the stain. Usually any spray on stain remover made for children's clothing works the best. I use my daughter's for everything, they seem to be formulated the best for all around stains like food, dirt, etc.

Windex works, so does rubbing alcohol. Use paper towel.

type of fabric? Color of Mold? Color of fabric? It all depends on the specifics. Baking soda and water could work for light colored cotton. If it is upholstery-you need a dry cleaner. If they are dark colored fabrics-it is difficult because of the white residue left by baking soda. Bleach is good when diluted for light colors. Synthetic fibers are a whole other category. Dry cleaners could give you pointers for that. There are so many different type of fabrics-there is no blanket answer.

(m)\n\nHot water does not freeze - cold water does.\n\nHot water cools faster than cold water because they both follow approximately the rate equation delta T = -k*dT/dt.\n\nAfter washing the stained clothes in both hot and cold water, we determined that cold water removed most of the stains more efficiently.  Cold water removed all of the stains that hot water did not, with the exception of grape juice and mustard.  Neither hot nor cold water removed oil or grass stains efficiently.  It different detergents and/or stain removal substances, such as Shout, were applied to the grass and oil stains, they would more than likely be able to be removed.  Since oil needs heat to dissolve, it would probably be effectively removed with the proper stain removers in hot water.  We decided that not just hot or cold water can specifically be used to remove all types of stains all the time.  Each stain must be treated accordingly using the right detergent and the right water temperature.  \n\n \n\nAlthough hot water is needed to remove some stains, it also tends to fade the color of materials.  If there are no stains in clothes, it is more efficient to use cold water because you are saving energy by not needing water to be heated.  If clothes need to be washed in warm or hot water, you can save energy but washing big loads of laundry at once and rinsing them on a different, cooler cycle.    \n\n\nCold water pressure washers are most suitable for car, deck, grill, patio, sidewalk, house, bus, and truck power cleaning. Also, if you have a car washing or an airplane washing business cold water power washers are the best fitting machines for it.\n\nOn the other hand, hot water pressure washers are excellent for oil, grease, and fuel spills, and for sanitization. Hot water pressure washers are also the best candidates for places such as garages, industrial plants, agriculture machineries, service areas, food processing plants, and airport environments.\n\nCold (40 - 50 degrees F) water is absorbed more quickly from the stomach. Also, if cold water is drank during physical exercise has the dual effect of also cooling the internal body temperature along with sweat produced by exercise. Since sweat is your body’s way of cooling itself, leave sweat on your skin and you should feel cooler.

If you use Savlon, you'll end up staining your clothes. Try sodium hydrochoride -Javel- instead (don't use it on coloured clothes) or else use disinfectant that do not contain javel

The best thing for removing a fat or oil stain -- or the oily component of a more complex stain such as salad dressing or gravy (once it's dry) -- is to rub cornstarch (or cornstarch powder, or even talcum powder) into the stain , let it sit for at least 20 minutes, and then brush it off with a dry washcloth or soft dry brush. You may need to repeat the treatment several times to fully remove the fat. It works especially well on silk and wool. So well, in fact, that further washing (or dry cleaning) is not needed.

I'm not sure but probably, first try a spot that won't be noticed. Check the label on the clothes and see if says anything about how to clean it. Hope that helps.

For badly stained clothes I use Oxyclean; you may have to soak the garment for several days in a stronger than recommended solution.

Try using Oxiclean.  Do not use the generic it does not work as well.  Soak the dress shirts in Oxiclean for awhile, then wash them.  You might have to let them soak for 24 hours, but I have found it to work on all the stains that I needed to get out of my clothes.  Good Luck! I hope this works for you, like it has for me.

That wooden cutting board is very useful, but it absorbs stains and bacteria like nobody's business. Here's how to keep it clean. \n \n   \n  Steps:  \n1.   Wipe down the board with a sponge and hot, soapy water immediately after use. (Image 1)  \n  \n2.   Get rid of minor stains by sprinkling table salt on the affected area and rubbing the area with a lemon wedge.  \n  \n3.   Use an abrasive antibacterial cleaner and scouring pad for tougher stains. (Image 2)  \n  \n4.   Rub the board with fine sandpaper to get rid of severe stains. Be sure to rub along the grain of the wood. (Image 3)  \n  \n5.   Rinse the board well.  \n  \n6.   Wipe off excess water with a clean towel and lean the board against a countertop to allow for even drying.  \n  \nTips:  \n Clean your cutting board after each use for sanitary purposes.  \n  \n To maintain an attractive finish, use a food-safe mineral oil to polish your cutting board.  \n  \n  \n  Warnings:  \n Don't leave a wooden cutting board in standing water. Doing so will cause the wood to split.  \n\n\n\nOlive oil is not recommended for use on wooden cutting boards. It becomes rancid. Seal the wood with food-grade mineral oil, especially before the first use. Use mineral oil once a week, or when needed. To clean the board and get a sanitary surface, scrub the board under hot running water, then wash it with hot, soapy water. Wipe it with a solution of one part vinegar to four parts water. Rinse it with running water and pat it dry (or allow it to air-dry).

I've heard that liquid fabric softener works! It also works for stained coffee pots!

it all depends on what you are trying to clean off and what colour your rug is.  Water and white vinegar will remove some things, as will a mixture of talcom powder and lemon. ( the lemon agitates the stain and the powder sucks it up)

yes the magic eraser is great for many things but I've never tried it on coffee stains.\nLet me know if it works.

I use Goo Gone and then just take a scraper and scrape it off.  Add some rubbing alcohol if that fails.

I'm assuming you mean pants?  Soak them over night in a mix of water and detergent.  If they are white pants, add bleach to the mix.
