Remove stains at home

On the origin of a stain can be fat and oil (from food and technical oils, fats, oil paints, pitches, etc.), colour - basically an organic origin (from wine, berries, fruit, vegetables, sauces, coffee, tea, a grass, cocoa, a mould, blood, egg white, ink, etc.) And rust stains. The universal spot remover, suitable for deducing of any stains from any fabric in house conditions, does not exist: the majority modern the preparations which are let out by the industry, are grouped according to the destination depending on specified above directions. Many kinds of stains from linen and other products leave at home at washing by modern washing-up liquids, however it not always yields desirable results as some stains at washing are not deduced, and, on the contrary, under the influence of a heat are fixed, therefore their subsequent removal rather is at a loss, and after ironing by an iron under action even more a heat removal of such stains becomes impossible. Therefore all stains which cannot be removed at washing, it is necessary to delete preliminary. Thus, first of all it is necessary to know the nature of a stain and a kind of the polluted fabric. Quality and speed of deducing of stains in house conditions substantially depend on prescription of pollution: the старее the stain, the is more difficult to deduce it. It is connected by that under the influence of a sunlight and air oxygen substances polluting clothes undergo radical changes in which result almost insoluble products of oxidation are formed, осмоления, decomposition, etc. means need to be tested Any preliminary on a small slice of the same fabric or on an internal fold of clothes to be convinced of durability of fibres and firmness of colouring to action of this means. It is very important, as many such means, for example, it is impossible to use for cleaning fabrics, and also fabrics with type impregnation. For deducing of fat and oil stains with ацетатных fabrics it is possible to apply only gasoline, soap and synthetic washing-up liquids, and to fabrics with impregnation - only soap and synthetic washing-up liquids. Before the work beginning it is necessary to clear carefully a product a brush of a dirt and a dust: it will reduce probability of formation round the cleared site of a fabric of "aura" - the border separating the cleared site from other fabric. To avoid formation on "an aura" fabric, it is useful to moisten also before stain deducing a fabric round it water. To deduce stains it is necessary always from edges to the stain centre, differently the probability of occurrence of "aura" considerably increases. Slowly and hardly deleted stains it is not necessary to aspire to deduce for once - to repeat operation of deducing of a stain 2 - 3 times better.

Slowly and hardly deleted stains it is not necessary to aspire to deduce for once - to repeat operation of deducing of a stain 2 - 3 times better. Deducing of fat and oil stains is based on their removal from a surface of a fabric by solvents. Distinguish two ways of deducing of such stains. The first of them is most convenient at cleaning of dense fabrics. In this case under the bottom party of a fabric (i.e. from a wrong side) enclose a slice of a white fabric or a blotting paper, and then slightly wipe a stain tampon plentifully moistened in solvent circular motions from periphery to the centre. Thus solvent filters through a fabric, dissolves pollution which pass to a fabric or paper substrate. In process of pollution a substrate replace. At the second way which is especially convenient for cleaning of the greased places on collars, a stain remove slightly moistened tampon: pollution passes to a tampon which needs to be changed for the pure is more often. It is necessary to remember that the majority of preparations for removal of rusty stains harmfully influence a skin of hands. Therefore to work with such preparations it is recommended in rubber gloves, and upon termination of work carefully to wash up hands. However not always near at hand there can be necessary chemical preparations and spot removers. It is necessary to use any make-shifts is more often.

Juice of mature tomatoes washes off from a cloth and hands of a stain from a rust and ink.
Well eliminates a rusty stain on a white fabric a hyposulphite solution (15 g on 1 glass of water). Warm up it to temperature 65°С, lower in a solution the soiled fabric, sustain it before stain disappearance, then wash out at first warm, and then cold water. With success it is possible to replace hyposulphite or lemon acid.
Apply also a mix and acetic acids: Their solution (5-7 g on 1 glass of water) warm up in the enameled ware, lower in it for short time a fabric with a stain, and then carefully wash out its warm water. If inveterate, procedure it is necessary to repeat a stain. Instead of a solution of acids it is possible to use before boiling a lemon juice.
From colour fabrics rusty stains can be removed, prepared of equal parts of the glycerine, a grated white chalk and water: rub with it a stain, and in a day a product wash and rinse. The rust well leaves if to put on a stain the slice of a lemon wrapped in a gauze, to press a hot iron, and then to wash out water.

Fresh stains can be deduced and so: a blotting paper to curtail into some layers, to put on a stain from above and from below and to iron an iron. The paper thus absorbs fat, therefore it in the course of stain deducing should be changed periodically. Then a stain clean gasoline.
Old grease stains are good for cleaning dense from potato flour, having put it at some o'clock on a stain. If there are fat traces, they are deleted a slice of the fabric moistened with gasoline. In the end of cleaning the stain needs to be wiped a slice of stale bread.

Inveterate stains and delete grease stains the gasoline cleared by turpentine. Grease a fabric round a stain with gasoline or water for prevention of occurrence of circles round a stain. Under a stain place the blotting paper moistened with gasoline, and wipe a stain from edges to the middle, thus become soiled rag periodically changing for the pure. Then the cleaned place wash out water, dry up and iron.
Stains from lubricating oil can be removed with the help, the magnesia prepared from a powder with an aether. When the aether will disappear, magnesia should be cleared a brush. Such stain can be deduced and a turpentine and liquid ammonia mix in equal quantities: rub with it a stain and leave for some time. If the stain does not disappear, again rub a stain with this mix, and then wash a product in soap water.
A stain from an oil paint usually deduce a gasoline and acetone mix, and then wipe liquid ammonia to a total disappearance (if the fabric does not change colouring from sal ammoniac).
Fresh stains moisten with turpentine or acetone, leave for some time for a stain softening, and then wipe gasoline before its disappearance. From an oil paint it is recommended to moisten old stains at first with hot turpentine (the bottle with turpentine needs to be warmed up in ware with water, instead of on open fire). After a stain softening wipe its concentrated solution of baking soda, then wash the cleared place warm water. For a stain softening sometimes grease with a butter, maintain throughout several hours and clean gasoline.
Fresh grease stains from light fabrics can be removed, at once having strewed the polluted site a chalk powder; a chalk leave on 2-4 that he has had time to incorporate pollution, and then it delete simple. In case of need this procedure repeat. Fresh fat and oily stains from any fabric can be deduced, ironing a fabric a warm iron through some layers of the blotting paper laid both with internal and from the right side of the cloth.

From a white cotton fabric of a stain delete onions juice: some times rub with it stains, and then wash off in hot water. Stains on silk or woollen fabrics need to be cleared at first turpentine, then to cover with a thin layer of talc, to put from above a blotting paper and to iron a warm iron. Stains from a mould on a silk fabric can be removed also a liquid ammonia solution (1 part) in water (16 parts). After cleaning the fabric should be rinsed well. Inveterate stains from a mould and dampness wash out in soap water and wipe hyposulphite from calculation 1 h. A spoon on 1 glass of water.
