1. Use talcum powder to remove stains
Sprinkle generously and gently tap some talcum powder onto the spot that’s stained and leave it aside for about an hour. The talcum powder helps to absorb the oils and stains. When done, just brush off the powder from the material and proceed to wash as you normally would.
I’ve personally tried this method before and I’m glad to say it works. I usually let the powder set in for longer than an hour (sometimes over night) before it is laundered if the clothing is not needed in a hurry.
2. Use hot boiling water to remove stains
Stretch out stained area of your clothing over a large bowl and secure it properly so that it stays in place. Stand some 1 to 3 feet away from the clothing and carefully and slowly pour the boiling water into the stain. Continue to pour hot water onto the stain until the stain is substantially removed.
I’ve yet to try this method out but I’ve read that this should work. If you are trying this method, do share your feedback by leaving a comment here to let us know if it is indeed an effective way to remove stains.
