Does Adding Coffee Keeps Blacks Black?
Allegedly you can stop your black clothes from fading by adding one cup of coffee to the rinse cycle. If you own a pair of faded black jeans then hold off from throwing them out just yet. Coffee is very dark in texture and can definitely act as a natural dye and some people swear that it enhances the blackness of things like t-shirts, jeans and dresses.
Does Coca-Cola Remove Grease Stains?
Grease stains are tough to remove and almost seem like a mark for life. You ‘d be forgiven for being sceptical if told that Coca-Cola of all things is the key to lifting out those stubborn grease stains. To try this trick, add one can of coca cola to your usual wash along with detergent and fabric conditioner. Coca-Cola contains carbonic and phosphoric acid which work well for cleaning out stains and neutralising odorous clothes.
Can I Use Milk & Vinegar To Remove Biro Ink Stains?
When a pen leaks into your pocket it can be very frustrating. The thick sticky ink found in a biro is practically a death sentence for any piece of clothing. It has been said however that by bathing the stained item of clothing in a solution of milk and vinegar, you can “lift” the stain. Simply pour two cups of milk over the stain and then the one cup of vinegar. Leave this for 12 hours and then wash as usual.
Can I Stop Colours Bleeding By Adding Black Pepper?
This is not strictly a stain removal measure but more of a method to maintain the brightness and vibrancy of your coloured washes. Over time, the detergent used in washes gradually bleaches the colours of your clothes leaving them looking a little bit worn and faded. This is especially true with gel tabs where amounts of undissolved residue are sometimes left behind on clothes. Some people say that a few spoonfuls of black pepper helps exfoliate the fabrics and scrape away excess detergent.
