Clothes are always vulnerable to stains, even while in the wash. Regardless of the cause of the stain, they can be difficult to eliminate completely and you almost always have to resort to various  cleaning products that can damage the fabric itself. Today, there are plenty of stain removal options on the market, but  as usual, they are loaded with chemicals that can harm both your health and the environment. However, you can make your own stain remover at home, which is much better for both you and the environment.

Today, lots of people are looking for organic alternatives to washing their clothes and removing stains. Such alternatives are safe, effective, inexpensive and easy to get hold of.  If you have not yet tried a  homemade stain remover, we will show you more in the following article on how to stop using the expensive products that can cause so much damage to the soil and your health.

Stain remover with baking powder

Baking soda  is without a doubt one of the best products you can have on hand at all times at home. This white powder is inexpensive and can help you with lots of cleaning tasks around the house, especially when it comes to removing stains from clothes.

• Sweat or stains of vomit : If your clothes are stained with either sweat or vomit, all you need to do is mix six tablespoons of baking soda with half a cup of warm water, and get it directly on the stained area. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then rinse with plenty of warm water. If the stain does not go away on the first try, repeat this procedure and then wash the clothes as usual.

• Grease stains : Grease stains can be a real headache because oils tend to stick to the fibers in the fabric. Baking soda is a great way to get this out because it absorbs the oil.  To use this remedy, sprinkle baking soda directly on the affected area, let it sit for half an hour, scrub it gently and then rinse it.

Stain remover with wine vinegar
