When you want to remove common stains from clothes, it is essential to act quickly and efficiently to prevent the stain from setting permanently. Here are some practical tips. Before washing the garment, it is necessary to treat the stain specifically. Use products such as stain remover, detergent or even bicarbonate of soda [US: baking soda] to address the stain before putting the clothes in the washing machine. Each type of stain may require a different approach. Learn to identify the origin of the stain to choose the most effective removal method. Oil, red wine..., each has its own particular approach. Additionally, when treating the stains, some may require several attempts to disappear completely. Don't be discouraged and be patient; sometimes, it is necessary to repeat the removal process.
