Sometimes I get really tired of spending money on certain products to get rid of stains or to help make my clothes soft or even to iron. It's a never ending battle keeping up with all the "stuff" you have to buy. Now there are stain pens and cloths, special softners and odor removers for your wash, etc, etc.

All of it is way to get your money and most of it is not necessary. I can show you on this site many ways to take care of these "problems" and save your money for something better! You won't believe some of the things you are going to learn. Sit back and enjoy!

OK, lets get started and look at some Home Remedies that will save you money:

Stains

  • Blood - Pour hydrogen peroxide over the stain. It will bubble up like it does with a cut on your skin, but this is what you want it to do. Rub it around then rinse with cold water. Add more peroxide if necessary. This works on colored or white clothes. Also, you can sprinkle unseasoned meat tenderizer on the blood stain. This will digest the protein in the blood, which helps eliminate it. In addition, you can soak the garment in lukewarm ammonia water, 3 Tbs. per gallon, then rinse.

  • Ball-point pen- Spray the stain with hairspray then blot with a clean cloth. Nail polish remover will work on some fabrics to remove ink, but first check to see if it's safe for the fabric.

  • Candle wax or Crayon- Scrape off as much as possible, first. Place a paper towel or white cloth on either side of the material around the stain. Iron it on low to medium setting. The wax should lift off on the towel. Rub a mixture of liquid detergent and water on any remaining stain, rinse, then wash as usual.

  • Chewing Gum- Rub with ice, then srape off as much as possible. The ice hardens the gum. You can also put the garment in the freezer then scrape. Rub a little prewash or liquid detergent on area, after gum is removed, then wash as usual.

  • Chocolate- Use a little ammonia or prewash, then rinse well with cold water.

  • Coffee- Soak stain in cold water as soon as possible. Depending on the fabric you can use a non-chlorine bleach to remove it in the wash.
