Housewives prepare carefully for New Year's Eve.

How to remove stains from a tablecloth

If the stains are really old, then you can pay attention to an old but effective method.

You need to mix potato starch with water to form a paste, and then apply the mixture in a thick layer to the stains. After a few hours, this solution should be removed. After that, the item should be washed in the usual way.

For white fabric, you can use hydrogen peroxide.

Just two tablespoons need to be diluted in a liter of clean water.

The contaminated area should be left in this solution for several minutes.

Then the stain should be washed out using laundry soap.

If this method does not help to return the ideal white color to such textiles, then it is necessary to make a stronger solution. To do this, mix 4 spoons of peroxide with 2 spoons of soda. It is advisable to add another spoon of dishwashing liquid to this mixture.

The composition must be applied to the stain for 15 minutes, and then the tablecloth must be washed.
