It is safe to say that in every home there are at least 4-5 of the mentioned funds. There is nothing supernatural on our list.Let's figure out how to use these or other means - let's go through the list.
We will try to remove grass stains with the help of ordinary table salt, at least large, at least small, it doesn’t matter. We can soak the stain with water and cover it with salt, or we can prepare a saturated saline solution with which we will soak the stain.Both procedures take approximately 30-40 minutes, depending on the degree of contamination. If necessary, denim can be rubbed with a brush.so that the salt can penetrate as deep as possible. The same method works very well for removing wine stains from fabric.
Citric acid, in case of its absence, can replace lemon juice. We soak the jeans for half an hour in lemon juice or a solution of citric acid, rinse the clothes in cool water, and then send them to the wash with a suitable washing powder. Citric acid is caustic enough to quickly remove green grass stains from clothes.
Hydrogen peroxide is present in the medicine cabinets of many people. With its help, you can not only stop the blood, but also get rid of many types of stains. Peroxide is also great for grass stains, discoloring the green. We drip peroxide on pollution, if necessary, three, after which we let it lie down for about an hour. Next, we send the clothes to the laundry. How to wash jeans in a washing machine we have written before. By the way, hydrogen peroxide can wash jeans not only from grass, but also from other contaminants, such as fruit.
Many housewives actively use wine vinegar. As practice shows, it is the first remedy for removing grass stains from jeans and other denim products.Apply wine vinegar to stains and scuffs, leave for an hour. After that, we send things to the washing machine - as a result, we will get perfectly clean jeans.
You may not have wine vinegar in your house, but ordinary table vinegar will most likely still fall on a shelf in the kitchen cabinet - but do not confuse it with vinegar essence, otherwise you will get a stained rag instead of jeans. If there is only essence at home, dilute it so that the strength of the solution does not exceed 10%. Next, we act by analogy with wine vinegar - soak and wash. Vinegar is a versatile remedy and is also great for removing rust stains from fabric.
Many housewives unfairly bypass cheap laundry soap.But in vain - it is able to cope even with such stains that the most expensive powders cannot cope with! You just need to know how to use it - we take hot water (we look at the temperature on the tags on the clothes), soak the jeans in it, rub the grass stains with laundry soap, and then leave the jeans to soak overnight (well, or for 3-4 hours). Next, the clothes are waiting for the washing cycle in the washing machine - the results will pleasantly surprise you!
Do you have ammonia at home? You can remove water stains with it. We soak the stains with ammonia (dilute it in a ratio of 1 to 1 with water), after 15 minutes rub the contaminated places with laundry soap, and after another hour send the clothes to the washing machine. There will be no stains after washing, no matter how you look. The same method can be applied if necessary. remove ink from white clothes.
If ammonia is absent, but ethyl alcohol is present, feel free to send it to fight grass stains.We apply alcohol on pollution, three, leave for 30-40 minutes. If there is no alcohol, ordinary vodka will do (if you don’t mind). After soaking, we send the jeans to the wash.
Baking soda is available in almost every home. And it can wash jeans from grass stains. We turn the soda into gruel by adding a little water to it, after which we apply it on jeans, leave for an hour. An hour later, we throw the jeans into the drum of the washing machine and turn on the appropriate program.
Are you afraid to use improvised means? Then get a good stain remover from the hardware store and try washing your stained jeans with it. The use of bleaches for colored fabrics also gives a good effect.. If none of this is at hand, make a slurry of washing powder, apply it to the stain and wait 40-50 minutes. Then wash your jeans in the washing machine.
