REMOVE STAINS

Nothing more irritating than to see a stain in your new dress, curtain, wall...or wherever else at home. There are a lot of stain remover brands you can see in the grocery, but why not look into your cupboard first? You might have the easiest and cheapest solution to your stain problem. Try it (I did!) and you'll see what I mean.

- FRUIT & WINE STAIN: pour salt solution or hot water on stain and soak in milk before the actual washing


- COFFEE: mix eggyolk in lukewarm water and rub on stain

- INK: soak in milk or blotch with hydrogen peroxide

- BLOOD: soak in cold water; but for hard-to-remove stains, apply a mixture of cornstarch and talcum powder, allow to dry then brush
away

- CHEWING GUM: rub with ice until gum hardens and peel off

- RUST: saturate with lemon juice then sprinkle and rub with salt. Allow to dry in direct sunlight before washing
