Effective tools for working with colored and white things

Pollution on colored things causes a headache in many housewives. Even industrial compounds in this case are able to spoil the product, because in the process of removing stains, the color of the fabric is often washed out. To prevent this, you need to make a stain remover based on green tea:

Green tea

  • We need a quarter of the standard bar brown soap, half a glass of fresh and strained green tea, three tablespoons of soda ash, a liter of hot water.
  • Soap rubbed on the grater, add to water, stir and bring the composition to a boil. When the soap is dissolved, add the remaining ingredients and mix until homogeneous.
  • Remove the mass from the heat and cool to room temperature. Take half the glass of the obtained composition and add it to the washing machine.

Wiped soap

Wash white things at home will not cause trouble if carried out using the following means:

  • Take a glass of hot water in half a glass of 3% hydrogen peroxide and baking soda.
  • In water, we dissolve the soda, then add peroxide and mix. We pour the product into a spray and spray it over the stain. If the contamination is fresh, then you can start washing in 10 minutes. If you are old, you will have to wait at least 7-8 hours.

After applying these products, it is best to wash the damaged product in the machine, but also when hand washing the approaches give a good result.

To remove the same contamination from the white surface, mix 3% hydrogen peroxide with a small amount of ammonia. The product is applied to the stain, slightly three and rinsed.
  • Yellow spots from perfume and toilet water disappear after treatment of the affected area with wine vinegar followed by several drops of acetone. We erase the product as usual and, if necessary, repeat the manipulation.

  • Ink quickly comes off if treated with acetone. Wet the cotton disc in the composition and soak the contamination. We wash the product with the addition of detergent or gel.
