White shirts are clothes that are almost always in every family's wardrobe. However, the white color of shirts is very easy to get dirty when participating in daily activities.
Therefore, housewives can learn to recognize the nature of each type of stain, which will help washing and removing faster and more effectively.
Ballpoint pen ink stains, pens
This is a fairly common stain, especially on the uniforms of students. Ink stains from ballpoint pens and pens often stick to the sleeves or chest of the shirt, making it very difficult to remove if not done properly.
Accordingly, ballpoint pen ink is oil-based, so washing it with regular water will not be effective, and may even make the stain spread wider.
Housewives can use a solution with mild bleaching properties such as alcohol, drop it directly onto the stain to dissolve the ink texture before washing. Treating it little by little will help remove all the ink stains on the white shirt fabric.
Yellow stains from sweat and dust
Continuous movement causes the body to secrete quite a lot of sweat, mainly concentrated in the neck and armpits of shirts. Sweat when combined with environmental dust will create yellow stains. If left for a long time, yellow stains will stick to the fabric fiber structure.
Housewives should soak clothes in warm water with a little salt or use specialized soap to gently scrub your hands. This method will help wipe away yellow stains before they dry out and stick deep into the white coat.
Fat stain
Grease stains when eating and drinking are also stains that are difficult to remove. Housewives should use paper to absorb excess grease or use a little diluted dish soap to apply directly to the stain to help remove food grease stains.
This quick processing method will make the subsequent washing step easier as well as help the white shirt return to its new state.
Mud mark
Daily activities can easily cause mud to stick to clothes. Unlike fine dust, mud after drying will stick to the fabric layer, causing dullness.
Housewives, let the mud stain dry completely and then gently scrub the surface layer with a brush before washing wet will help quickly remove stains on white shirts.
