How good are the old home remedies?
How to remove even dried blood spots easily. Even red wine and deodorant are history with our home remedies. The test winner!
Schwupps - and it happened! Your child has his knee open and you must remove the blood spots . The red wine has landed on the bright carpet and all scrubbing and scrubing brings nothing? Do not fret! With grandma's home remedies you should get rid of every stain. Is that really true? We've made the test.
Salt with red wine stains
We generously sprinkled the salt on a stain about five centimeters wide in the tablecloth, let it soak in and then carefully brushed it off. Result: A pale border was still visible, but it was easy to wash out.
Water and salt in the case of blood spots
If you want to remove fresh blood stains, you're in luck. Rinse the garment in cold water with light rubbing motions, rub some salt over the spot and wash in the machine as quickly as possible. With dried blood, removing blood stains is more difficult. Rub the stain with sparkling mineral water and salt. Then apply a mixture of lemon juice and salt and let it work for one to two hours.
Baking soda with grease stains
A fresh spot we sprinkled with baking soda and let the whole thing rest. Result: After about an hour, the fat was sucked on and barely visible from the stain.
Blotting paper on wax stains
How it works: Place blotting paper over the stain and then iron over it. Result: This worked only partially. After ironing, there were still stains left that could handle only a detergent at very high temperature (95 degrees).
Perfume on ballpoint pens
Simply brush and rub. On the whole, this works quite well, the alcohol contained in the perfume actually acts as a solvent. Result: Weak ink residue remained, so that the dirty laundry had to go back into the machine.
Lemon juice with rust stains
We have the proven home remedy pure on the spot and carefully rubbed. Result: Sobering - the stain was still visible.
Conclusion
Four of the six home remedies work great, but you still need to do the laundry .
