How to Get Rid of Stains on Fabric

These are my tips for getting rid of stains on every day household fabrics.

Stains on Blinds: to remove spots or stains from blinds, try using a solution of 5% of washing up liquid in water. A strong solution. This solution will work on any blinds, aluminium, plastic or fabric.

If the blinds are plastic or aluminium, dust the blindsfirst of all with a feather duster or a vacuum cleaner with a softbush attachment.

If you have vertical blinds, wipe them from top to bottom on both sides of the slats using soft cloth. Wipe the solution off with an almost dry rinse. Just use a moist, clean cloth. Leave the blinds to dry naturally.

If you have very dirty vertical blinds, you could detach them and take them outside. Tie the up between two posts and hose them down with a fine spray. Let them dry naturally.

If you have fabric blinds, you will need to check the maker's recommended instructions.. If you don't have them, clean as above, rinse well and allow to dry naturally.

Beer or Wine on Carpets: tannins are the problem here. They are an astringent and so tend to shrink the surface of the substance on which they have been spilled. Tannins can also found in most fruits, jams, coffee, teas, beer, etc. Try blotting, not rubbing the stain with water. If the fabric is washable, use one teaspoon of washing up liquid in a cu of water and a cloth

Work the stain fro the edge towards the centre. If you still experience problems, try adding a teaspoon of vinegar..

If the fabric is non-washable, try a dry cleaning fluid. And take care not to buy fabric you can't clean again! Seriously though, try half a teaspoon of white vinegar in half a cup of wet spotter.

Rust on Carpets:

Blot the area with lemon juice. You will need to repeat the procedure until it works. Once the area is clean, the fabric may seem a little stiff. Or sticky. This is normal. You can solve this one by spraying clean water and dabbing it off.

Removing Blood From Fabric: protein-type liquids, like blood, egg, dairy, feces, urine and vomit are all of the same ilk.  Bodily fluids.

Flood the area with cold water, not hot. Hot will set (cook) it and then you have real problems. Thoroughly soak the area in cold water and dab clean from the outside of the stain. You can also add some salt to the water. Say a handful to a bucket of water. Similarly if you get blood on a shirt, let it soak overnight in cold, salty water.
