In this blog post, we will explore 10 common household stains and how to treat them. From food and drink to mud and makeup, we’ve got you covered. So the next time you find yourself in a sticky situation, remember these tips and tricks to get that stain out for good.

Coffee stains

If you’re a coffee drinker, chances are you’ve had to deal with coffee stains at some point. Here’s how to get them out of your clothes:

• – Soak the stained garment in cold water for 30 minutes.
• – Apply a pre-treatment stain remover to the stain and let it sit for 15 minutes.
• – Wash the garment in the hottest water possible according to the care label instructions.
• – If the stain is still there, repeat steps 2-4.

Tea stains

Tea stains are one of the most common household stains, and they can be tricky to remove. If you have a tea stain on your clothing, the first step is to blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth. Once you’ve blotted the stain, rinse it with cold water. If the stain is still visible, you can try treating it with a mild detergent or bleach.

Wine stains

Wine stains can be difficult to remove, but there are a few things you can do to help. First, blot the stain with a clean cloth to absorb as much of the wine as possible. Then, using a solution of one part white vinegar and two parts water, apply it to the stain and let it sit for a few minutes before blotting it again. You may need to repeat this process several times before the stain is removed.

Grease stains

One of the most common stains that you’ll find around the house is a grease stain. These can be tricky to remove, but there are a few things that you can do to treat them.

To start, you’ll want to blot up as much of the grease as possible with a clean cloth. Once you’ve done that, you can treat the area with a bit of dish soap and warm water. Scrub at the stain gently with a brush or sponge until it starts to lift.

If that doesn’t work, you can try using a commercial grease-fighting product or some WD-40. Spray either of these onto the stain and let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing again.

You may have to repeat these steps a few times before the stain is completely gone, but eventually, it will come up!

Mud stains

Mud stains are one of the most common household stains, and they can be tricky to remove. If you’re dealing with a fresh mud stain, it’s important to act quickly. The longer the mud stays on the fabric, the harder it will be to remove.

To treat a fresh mud stain, start by blotting up as much of the mud as possible with a clean cloth. Once you’ve removed as much of the mud as you can rinse the area with cold water. Then, apply a pre-treatment solution or laundry detergent directly to the stain and allow it to soak in for 5-10 minutes.

After soaking, launder the item as usual. If the stain is still visible after washing, you may need to treat it again with a pre-treatment solution or laundry detergent before laundering it a second time.

Blood stains

One of the most common household stains is blood. Whether it’s a nosebleed, a cut, or just a small accident, blood can easily end up on clothing, furniture, or carpeting. It’s important to act quickly when dealing with blood stains, as they can be difficult to remove if left for too long.

To remove a fresh blood stain, start by soaking up as much of the blood as possible with a clean cloth. Once you’ve soaked up as much as you can, rinse the area with cold water. If the stain is still visible, you can try treating it with a mild detergent or vinegar solution. For tougher stains, you may need to use a stronger cleaning agent or call in professional help.

Ink stains

If you’re dealing with a fresh ink stain, the first thing you’ll want to do is blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. Once you’ve done that, you can treat the stain with a pre-treatment solution or laundry detergent. If the stain is still visible after treating it, you may need to use bleach or take the item to a professional cleaner.

For older ink stains, you’ll want to start by soaking the fabric in a mixture of water and vinegar for 30 minutes. After that, you can treat the stain with a pre-treatment solution or laundry detergent. If the stain is still visible after treating it, you may need to use bleach or take the item to a professional cleaner.

Fruit stains

Assuming you’re referring to fabric stains:

Treating a fruit stain as soon as possible is key to preventing it from permanently damaging your clothing. The first step is to gently blot the affected area with a clean, white cloth to remove as much of the fruit juice as possible. Once you’ve done that, mix one part water with one part vinegar and apply it to the stain using a spray bottle or a clean cloth.

Let the solution sit on the stain for a few minutes before rinsing it off with cold water. If the stain is still visible, you can repeat this process or try treating it with a commercial laundry pre-treater.

Grass stains

If you’re a parent, then you know that grass stains are inevitable. But don’t worry, there are a few things you can do to get rid of them.

To start, pretreat the stain with a laundry pre-treatment or stain remover. Be sure to follow the instructions on the product. Then, wash the item in the hottest water recommended on the care label with detergent. If the stain is still there after washing, you can try soaking it in a solution of 1 part bleach and 3 parts water for 5 minutes. Be sure to test this on a small area of the fabric first to make sure it doesn’t damage it.

If all else fails, you can always take the item to a professional cleaner. They should be able to get the stain out for you.

Wax stains

Wax stains are one of the most common household stains, and can be tricky to remove. Luckily, there are a few simple methods you can use to get rid of wax stains.

To remove a wax stain from clothing, start by scraping off any excess wax with a dull knife. Then, place the item of clothing in the freezer for about an hour, or until the wax is hardened. Once the wax is hard, you can simply peel it off. If there is any residual wax left behind, you can treat it with a pre-wash stain remover or by rubbing a little bit of WD-40 onto the stain.

If you have a wax stain on the carpet or upholstery, start by applying a generous amount of ice to the area to harden the wax. Once the wax is hard, use a blunt knife or your fingers to lift as much of the wax as possible. If there is any residual wax left behind, you can treat it with a solvent-based cleaner like Goo Gone.
