Removing stubborn stains from clothes can be a real challenge, especially if washing with regular detergent does not bring the desired result.

However, there is an unusual method that can help in this unpleasant situation - using a razor. Therefore, it is worthwhile to understand in more detail how to effectively and quickly remove old stains from clothes using a blade.

Preparing for the process

Before you begin removing stains, it is important to ensure that the fabric of the garment will not be damaged by using the razor.

This is especially important to consider when working with thin and delicate materials.

Ideally, take a piece of similar fabric and practice a little. You should not immediately use this cleaning method for good things.

What kind of dirt can be removed?

The razor is ideal for removing stubborn stains such as:

• dry stains from paint and oil;
• traces of fat;
• chewing gum.

It helps to carefully cut away contaminated parts of fabric fibers without damaging their structure.

What razor to use

When choosing a razor, you need to be extremely careful. It is important that it is perfectly sharpened.

You can also use a regular blade that you can buy in a store. There is only one condition: the sharpening must be very good.

How to avoid mistakes

When cleaning in this way, you should never rush. It is quite easy to damage the fabric, and it will not be possible to restore it.

Therefore, it is necessary to practice beforehand. If the skills cause concerns, it is better to take the item to a dry cleaner, where its structure and appearance will be preserved.
