    For underarm stains from anti-perspirant I’ve used a liquid concentrate version of tri-sodium phosphate or TSP. It is mainly a degreaser but used in combination with a stain remover like “Shout” or something similar sprayed directly on the inner side of the undershirt and scrubbed with a brush works right before your eyes, literally!!!!
    I have also use borax powder but my go to is TSP spray and Shout together sprayed heavily onto the affected areas.
    This also works great with “ring around the collar”

    I recently bought a beautiful lambs wool jacket at a thrift store. The only problem was that the previous owner left a cough drop in the side pocket. When it was steam pressed, the cough drop melted into the pocket and jacket. I took a chance, checked the internet, and found that the hardened candy could be easily removed with white vinegar …… worked like a charm!

    One of my friend's that works at the men's formal wear wholesale store that I shop at, recommended a mixture of Dawn dish soap, peroxide and baking soda to remove ring around the collar.
    Apply the mixture with a stiff brush or tooth brush, let sit for half an hour and wash as usual.

    Felsnaptha is a bar laundry soap. Excellent for oil stains. Found in laundry section of Walmart and even some grocery stores. Also Unicorn Fiber brand Power Scour ( Power scour strongest but they also have basic gentle fiber wash and fiber conditioner)is liquid enzymatic low temp wash and stain treatment for wools for also for most fabrics. Got grimy wool tshirt clean by soaking overnight in Power Scour then washed. As professional handspinner I use Unicorn fiber brand a lot. Also Felsnaptha is great and cheap. I think about $1.
    Also, wearing an undershirt will go a long way to keep garments less stained. This is the vintage way.

    I spotted the Laundress products. I recently bought some for my sweaters and really like them except they are heavily scented. The scent wears off little by little though, so I'll still use them. I was looking at their stain removal brush and now I think I will buy one. I also saw Laundry Evangelist, so I am going to check that out. Quite a while ago, I saw a video that said to remove old oil stains, you should "reactivate" them, i.e. apply new oil to the old stain, and then treat the stain. I tried that and it didn't work, but maybe it also had to do with not using the bleach alternative. I have heavily bleached some of my white clothes, curtains and other items, but now I will try it your way... except I have an old Robert Maplethorpe T-shirt that has gotten really yellow, and I think I will be using hydrogen peroxide and Oxiclean to try to restore the whiteness. I like the clarity of your instructions and the demonstrations. As someone else commented, it would have been nice to see the final laundered and dry clothing with the stains removed. Thanks for these tips.

    Unset Oil? Use Dawn!
    I’m unsure what is in it but I find the original Dawn dish detergent extremely effective on oily stains that have not set. Other dish detergents don’t seem to work as well. Hot water and lots of it is needed. However I found it problematic when spotting a garment on the go. Imagine a drop of Dawn on oily water... the oil is pushed away by the dawn. The effect on a garment is a larger (albeit lighter) ring of stain. You must be able to subsequently immerse the entire article.

    The best stain remover.... Is Dawn OxiClean and carbonated water..... Rub dawn on the stain... Sprinkle on some OxiClean.... Let it sit for like 15 minutes.... Then use the carbonated water and a soft bristle toothbrush... It'll start to fizz as you're scrubbing in a circular motion.... Put in washer stains gone.... And for freshly oil stains... You can sprinkle on cornstarch or baby powder it'll absorb it....

COLD water soak, at least an hour, then handwash the stain out, THEN launder it with hot water if you feel it's necessary. Please take my word for this - I'm a woman.

    Thank you for this wonderful video. The ink stains on my daughter's bag has been for months. Alcohol and dishwashing did it as you said in your video. It works. I did it repeatedly until the stain is gone.

    Very informative video. It would be helpful if you guys could make a video about products to use from laundry to bathing. Such as what shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc to use that is both environmentally friendly and good for your body, and where to buy them. Also is there a place where you can buy SPC in bulk that is not contained in plastic containers? As I try to avoid plastics.

      Hi, I am a hairstylist and my favorite brand of hair products is definitely from Aveda. All natural and powerful moisturizing ingredients with great smell from essential oils. They also carry a face line and body soap and body moisturizer. I worked with other different professional brands and it remains my favorite.

    I had work shirts that were a polyester-cotton blend. To remove ink stains I found a lot of success saturating the stain with a classic hairspray and using an old toothbrush to work it in. It performed quite nicely to remove the ink. Finish in the washing machine. Thanks for your added tips.

      Spray Sunscreen Sport works as well. But is depends on the kind of ink, it removes some inks, but not the others, go figure.

      I'm guessing what did the work was the solvent in the hairspray, or maybe the refrigerant/propellant still dissolved in it. The solvent is most likely. Hairspray is a sticky substance dissolved in a solution to stay liquid, and it's shot out of the spray can with a propellant. Sometimes CO2, sometimes butane and propane, sometimes a refrigerant like R134a, etc. The liquid then sprays out of the can onto your hair, and the solvent leaves the liquid because it rapidly evaporates into the air which thickens and sets the hairspray. I'm guessing that's what it was. There are frequently cosmetic alcohols in hygiene and beauty products along with water. A polar solvent will remove some molecules and a non-polar solvent will remove others; it's dependant on chemistry and electric charge distribution of the stain compound.

    Really great video; I'm a cleaning specialist from Ireland I hope you don't me making a few comments if I may!
    1). Solvent reactive stains should be blotted out not brushed in; especially when dealing with cottons, wools and silks; they will absorb the migrant dyes you have activated.
    2). Sodium Per Carbonate should be dissolved in 50 degree water (NEVER boiling water it is highly reactive and can explode) before application - heating thereafter with a hairdryer or iron will increase the reaction. Careful though it is injurious to both wool and silk.
    3). Chlorine bleach at 1% is still commonly used in laundries for stain removal on WHITE cotton towels and bed linen, though it will degrade cellulose fibres over time; as a last resort I would personally use it on white cottons though I would usually reach for per carbonate or vinegar first (vinegar is good for tannic stains).
    4). Biological or enzyme laundry detergents will generally take care of the rest of the stains you pre-treat with the exception of non organics.
    I really liked your video and I subbed :)

    I used Puracy stain remover for a long time & it's good ! But , then, a You Tuber (Jennifer Cook) said Dreft baby detergent makes an excellent stain remover. I tried it & she's right. It makes sense. Babies create all sorts of stains.

    I love how bleach alternative is so pricey when actually it's just a bottle of sodium percarbonate that you can buy anywhere for less than 2$... (I checked the ingredients or their website)

    FOLEX is a miracle worker for any spot! It will remove ink, makeup, lipstick, grease, blood, wine, spaghetti sauce, dirt stains......and all without ruining or staining the material! You can even keep children's cloths looking like new! NO I don't own any part of the business! LOL You can purchase this "carpet cleaner" at Home Depot or Lowes, and sometimes grocery stores or Walmart.

    When I’m at work and people come by with only stains looking for a Tide Pen (or I get a diff on my patent leather pumps), I pump out some Purell on the stain, rub it with tissue, and it comes right off.

    This information although helpful to some degree is highly misinformed. There's many types of stains but 4 main types od stain removers:
    -Surfactents (Detergent)
    -Enzymes (One for Lipids, Starches & Proteins)
    -Builders (Water softeners)
    -Bleaches (Chlorine & peroxide base)
    And if you were to go into more detail you'd explain the tips and tricks involving Acetone for laquar stains, Iron + Paper towel for wax and other interesting science based techniques.
