3 Mistakes That Prevent You From Removing Stains From Clothes: Every Housewife Should Know

Even if you use an expensive powder or gel for washing, there is no guarantee that the product will cope with the task.

There are several reasons for this, but let's take everything in order.

1. You've waited too long

This is probably the main mistake that every housewife has made at least once. If you have stained something, you should not put it in the laundry basket until there is enough dirty clothes.

During this time, the dirt will be firmly ingrained into the fabric, and you will have to spend much more effort to get rid of the stain. Instead, try to remove the stain on the same day.

2. You rub the stain too hard.

The more vigorously you rub the stain with your hands, the more the fabric in that area becomes thinner. The hard side of the sponge or a brush is also prohibited.

Instead, use a paper towel or napkin to gently blot the affected area to remove most of the stain.

3. You use hot water

Don't think that the higher the water temperature, the easier it will be to get rid of dirt. Hot water, on the contrary, leads to the fact that dirt settles more strongly on clothes.
