Soap and vinegar
This is a very simple method that is suitable even for colored items. Don't be afraid, in small concentrations, vinegar is not at all dangerous. It's even used to set color!
How to use:
Add grated soap and a few tablespoons of vinegar to a bowl of warm water. Wash the fabric in this water and then rinse under running water. The smell can be removed with conditioner.
Note:
If you don’t have vinegar on hand, use a few tablespoons of soda. But it must be well dissolved. We recommend using laundry soap, but regular soap will work too.

Grease stains
We tested two methods, and both turned out to be effective. The first is for fresh grease stains. Place the fabric between paper napkins (you can put 3 pieces on each side). Then set the iron to “MAX” mode and press firmly several times - the fat should be “discharged” onto the napkins. After this, we take gasoline (preferably purified for lighters), blot the stain with it, completely destroying it. Naturally, after this we wash the item with powder to remove the smell of gasoline.
The second method is for dried fat. Mix 2 tbsp. spoons of 96 percent alcohol with 2 tbsp. spoons of gasoline. Soak the fabric in this solution and wait until it dries. Then soak the fabric in it again and rinse in warm soapy water to remove the smell. The last manipulation can be performed in a washing machine in the “Rinse” mode (without washing).
Ammonia
Another fairly well-known and widespread option among people.
How to use:
Dissolve 1 tsp. ammonia in two glasses of warm water. Wet the stain well with the mixture, leave for 5 minutes and wash.
Note:
This method works well for blue stains on white fabric, but for colored items, look for a more delicate method!

Blood stains
If the blood stain is fresh, it is enough to wash it in soapy cold water (in hot water, the protein coagulates and becomes harder to wash). If traces still remain, moisten the area with ammonia and leave for 15 minutes. Then hand wash again in soapy cold water.
Dried blood stains are more difficult to remove, but they are also possible. Dilute 2 tbsp. spoons of salt per 1 liter of water. Soak the fabric in this solution for 12 hours. Then wash the item in powder at 60° - in 9 out of 10 cases the stain goes away. If you still have the tenth case, then you will have to use a specialized stain remover, for example, Dr. Beckmann, which removes blood and protein stains well.
Rinse aid for colored items
Use a delicate method for multi-colored and black clothes. Just take a special mouthwash!
How to use:
Pour a cap of rinse aid into the basin, soak the clothes for 10 minutes and wash. At the end, be sure to rinse everything in clean water. Amounts may vary, so follow your detergent's instructions.
Note:
You can rinse things not by hand, but in a machine on a short cycle at 30 degrees.

How to avoid powder stains?
In order to no longer rack your brains over the question of how to remove powder stains from clothes after washing, we advise you to always use these recommendations:
- Use less powder, you may be adding too much so the powder doesn't wash out of the fabric.
- Do not overload the machine with things; it should be filled 2/3 full - less things improves rinsing.
- You can use double rinse mode.
- When washing by hand, rinse 2-3 times in warm water, then a couple of times in cold water.
- Instead of powder, use liquid detergent, gels or capsules - they quickly dissolve and are completely washed out.
- Things should be washed at temperatures above 30 degrees; only at this temperature will the powder granules penetrate the fabric to remove dirt and be thoroughly washed out of it. It is important to take into account the temperature of the item when washing; if it only requires delicate washing, then increasing the temperature is unacceptable.
- Choose your laundry detergent carefully, taking into account the type, structure and color of the fabric.
We hope that our tips helped you clean your item of stains after washing; be sure to use the recommendations for preventing the appearance of stains from detergent on fabric. Share tips on how to remove powder stains.
Lemon acid
Unlike vinegar, acid also smells nice, so you don't have to wash the smell out!
How to use:
Dissolve 1 tsp in a glass of hot water. acid and soak a cotton pad in the liquid. Apply to the stain for 10-15 seconds and gently wipe off so as not to damage the fabric. Rinse the area with running water.
Note:
Instead of citric acid, you can take oxalic acid. It’s much less common, but suddenly you just happen to have it lying around.

How to remove stains and restore white color?
There are several ways to return radiant whiteness to plump clothes:
- Digestion with the addition of hydrogen peroxide. It is enough to dilute hydrogen peroxide (50 ml) in a liter of water and boil the faded white thing in the resulting solution for one hour.
- Treating stains with laundry soap. The faded areas are thoroughly rubbed with soap and the product is left for four hours, after which it is sent for re-washing.
- Treat stains with a mixture of citric acid, starch and salt. The components are mixed in equal proportions, water is added until it becomes a thick paste. The resulting composition is used to treat stains on faded clothing.
- Washing in potassium permanganate. Prepare a very weak solution of potassium permanganate (a few granules per 10 liters of water are enough), in which the dyed item is soaked for twenty minutes. Afterwards, the product is rinsed and washed again as usual.
The method of soaking in potassium permanganate is used as a last resort, since a miscalculation in the number of granules used can completely ruin the faded item.
Baking soda: a great stain remover
Using baking soda, you can remove almost any stain, including bluing. However, this product is very different from professional whitening products.

How to remove blue from clothes
This medication has a distinct blue color. And if it accidentally gets on your clothes, a bright spot appears, which can ruin the overall appearance of the product. At the same time, you shouldn’t be too upset, since using ordinary improvised means you can easily remove any contamination.
An excellent remedy in the fight against bright spots is hydrogen peroxide. It is recommended to use it only for processing light-colored items. Peroxide has a bleaching effect, which can cause even more damage to dark-colored items.
The liquid from the bottle is mixed with water in a 1:1 ratio. The item is placed in the resulting solution and left for approximately 30 minutes. Next, the clothes are washed in cold water. If traces of bluing remain, the procedure must be repeated, increasing the dose of peroxide.
Malfunctions in which the washing machine stains the laundry
The table describes the main breakdowns that RemBytTech specialists encountered during repairs, as well as the cost of eliminating them.
| Signs | Breaking | Repair or replacement | Price* |
| The washing machine leaves brown, rusty, orange or yellow stains on clothes. A noise or crackling sound in the machine drum that you heard a month or two ago. | A metal object fell into the tank. When washing, popped underwires from bras often “fly” into the machine. And also coins, nails, screws, nuts, bolts, ladies' pins and bobby pins forgotten in clothing pockets. This metal trash settles at the bottom of the tank, rusts from moisture and stains the water. And it leaves brown-yellow and rusty stains on things. | You need to remove a foreign object that has fallen into the tank. You can do this yourself according to the instructions in the article A bra wire got into the washing machine - what to do and how to get it out If you are “far” from technology, then it is better to call a specialist. | On your own or from 1300 rubles. |
| Dark oily, black, gray stains. There may be grinding or increased noise when the washing machine is operating, especially during the spin cycle. | The drum seal is leaking. The oil seal serves as a gasket between the drum and the bearing on the shaft. It protects and seals the bearing from water. For better glide, it uses lubricant. Over time, the seal wears out, dries out and loses its seal. The water begins to wash out the lubricant and carry it into the tank and drum of the machine. Therefore, greasy stains appear on clothes after washing (black, gray, dark), in the form of droplets or large blots. A leaking seal also affects the bearing, which rusts and fails. | The oil seal and bearing need to be replaced. It is better to change them in pairs at once, so as not to disassemble the car again after a while. A bearing that has had contact with water, even after cleaning, quickly becomes unusable. | from 4000 rub. |
| Dark, black, gray spots on things after a washing machine with a circulation pump (mainly LG, Electrolux, AEG) | The recirculation pump and the tube to the tank are dirty. If you are unfamiliar with caring for your washing machine, then dirt similar to sewage gradually accumulates in the pump housing and the entire circulation tract. It cannot be removed even by cleaning the machine with citric acid. Through the tube through which the pump pumps water into the tank, dirt gets into the drum of the machine and stains things. | It is necessary to remove and rinse the tube running from the circulation pump to the tank under water pressure. The pump is disassembled and washed or replaced with a new one. | from 2800 rub. |

Boiling water
Most often, bright blue or pink stains remain on light-colored clothes from improperly used washing powder. These stains can be removed in a less labor-intensive way than additional thorough rinsing.
If the composition of the fabric allows it to withstand high temperatures, simply boil water and pour it in a thin, neat stream onto the spot where the stain appears. Boiling water effectively removes stains and stains from powder, but only if very fresh traces appear. Old stains from detergents can only be removed by dry cleaning.
