Here are some tips for specific types of stains:
- For grass stains: Apply toothpaste to the stain and scrub it with a toothbrush for about three minutes. Then pre-wash for about 30 minutes before washing.
- For ink stains: Apply hair spray to the stain, then wash the garment with milk for thirty minutes. Pre-wash with water and enzyme detergent. You will be surprised, the stain will be gone!
- For blood stains: wash in cold water, then in hot water as the water is safe for fabrics. If it's a colored dress, add some bleach to colored garments. If it's a white dress use your regular laundry detergent and add 1 cup of bleach to the water. It is best to wash any kind of blood-stained object alone.
