Don’t cry over spilt wine, coffee or ink – just try these simple stain removal tricks with stuff you can find in your pantry! After applying the remedy, wash the item as normal.
RED WINE Dab, don’t rub, the stain with a clean, damp cotton cloth to absorb any excess wine. Then put the stained portion of the garment over an empty bowl, secure with a rubber band and sprinkle a generous portion of salt on the stain.
Pour hot water over the area and let the stained section soak in the salt and water for a few minutes. Clean the salt off.
LIPSTICK Dishwashing liquid is made to clean greasy dishes so it’s perfect for oily lipstick stains. Blot the stain with a paper towel, then cover it with dishwashing liquid and leave to soak for 15 minutes. Rinse with water.
