Stains on your favorite T-shirt or pants can ruin your mood in a second.
Particularly annoying are old marks that seem to have grown into the fabric forever.
It won't be difficult to deal with the problem if you remember that the solution is hidden in your kitchen and costs mere pennies.
Discover a simple secret that will make it easier to fight stubborn stains.
The problem starts with people often rubbing the stain furiously, hoping for a miracle.
Instead, the dirt only penetrates deeper into the fibers and the fabric loses its appearance.
The worst things to deal with are greasy food stains or darkened collars that accumulate a week's worth of wear.
It turns out that expensive stain removers often lose out to the regular product you already have on hand.
Just look in the cupboard where the vinegar is. Regular white vinegar, which is usually added to salads, works wonders on clothes.
Mix it with water in a ratio of one to two, apply it to the stain with a soft sponge and leave it for fifteen minutes.
The acid gently eats away at the dirt without damaging the fabric, and old marks begin to dissolve as if by magic.
Please remember that this method only works for light-colored fabrics.
Store-bought products often promise instant results, but their aggressive components thin the material.
Vinegar acts delicately, preserving the structure of the fibers even on delicate items like silk.
It also copes with odors that often remain after washing.
The simplicity of the method is surprising: you don’t need to spend hundreds of rubles to restore cleanliness to your clothes.
A little trick
After treating the stain, simply wash the item in the machine with regular washing powder.
If traces remain, you can add a pinch of soda to the water to enhance the effect.
The main thing is not to overdo it with the quantity, so as not to spoil the color of the fabric.
The end result is that the clothes look like they just came from the store.
