Trying to figure out how to remove tough stains from clothes? From red wine on a dress to coffee on a white shirt, stains are part of everyday life. While some can be treated at home, others are best left to a professional laundry service like No More Laundry.

Common Stains and How to Treat Them

1. Red Wine

Blot (don’t rub!) the stain with a clean cloth, then sprinkle salt or baking soda to absorb the liquid. Rinse with cold water before washing.

2. Coffee and Tea

Soak the fabric in cold water, then dab gently with a mix of vinegar and water. Launder as normal.

3. Oil and Grease

Cover the stain with cornstarch or talcum powder to absorb excess oil. After a few minutes, brush it off and apply a little dishwashing liquid before washing.

4. Ink

Place a paper towel under the stain and dab with rubbing alcohol or hand sanitiser. Rinse thoroughly before washing.

5. Grass

Apply a mixture of white vinegar and water directly to the stain, let it sit, then wash as usual.
