The easy way to remove any stain from clothing – costs just 65p

It can be frustrating when your favourite item of clothing becomes the victim of a tough stain but this simple hack could help get it out.

You’ll need two simple items, white distilled vinegar and lemon which you can purchase from Tesco for a total of 65p.

First, mix the ingredients into a small bowl, mix together equal parts distilled white vinegar and lemon juice, then stir to combine.

Then you’ll need to apply the mixture to the stain, make sure you put it directly onto the stain, ensuring it covers it completely.

Next you should allow the acidic mixture to work for up to 30 minutes to lift the stain.

Finally, you should rinse and wash the item of clothing – ensure to rinse the mixture off under cold water first and then wash as usual.

This method is known to be effective and can even work over purchasing more expensive stain remover products which don’t always produce the desired result.

If you’re hoping to try an alternative method, you could try using baking soda instead, which you may already have at home.

When using bicarbonate of soda to treat stains, it is essential that you are using the right product. 

This ingredient has various names, including baking soda and sodium bicarbonate. 

But, it is important to note that baking powder is not the same as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda.

If you plan to use this method instead, you should mix 4 tbsp of bicarbonate and 60ml of warm water.

This will form a paste which you can then put onto the stain, let it sit for a few minutes before gently scrubbing and washing off with water.

Baking soda is a versatile household ingredient that can come to your rescue when dealing with stubborn stains – it’s affordable and easy to buy from your local supermarket.
