- Red wine stains – When happy hour with a bottle of red wine turns into a giant spill, don’t panic! The secret is to act as quickly as you can and blot the red wine stain with a paper towel to absorb as much as possible. If the stain is dry, it’s preferable you soak it with a bit of water and then absorb the wine. After you’re done soaking, just sprinkle some baking soda on top, in order to create a thin layer that covers the stain. And then, let it sit overnight. The next day, dip a cloth in white vinegar and start dabbing the area, and then vacuum it as well. Soon, the red wine stain will be nothing but a distant memory!
- Cooking oil stains – If you’ve been at war with those fries for the last hour and a half, and now your kitchen has become a battlefield, don’t worry! Just sprinkle the stains with baking soda, until it’s fully covered. Let it sit for 30 minutes, and then pick a bucket to fill with hot water and add two more tablespoons of baking soda. Put the item in the bucket for another 30 minutes, and then wash it as usual.
- Coffee stains from mugs and not only – While your future could be written in those coffee stains, if you don’t know how to read them, they’re nothing but some stains! If you want to bring your mug back to its initial glow, just sprinkle some baking soda into your mug, and then add enough warm water to create a paste. Scrub the paste all over the stain with a sponge and then watch it disappear!
- Blood stains – If you didn’t know, blood is thicker than water, which makes it a difficult stain. To remove it, pour white vinegar directly over the stain, and wait for it to dissolve for 30 minutes. You can rinse out the vinegar using cold water.
