Fabric Magic (and other cleaning techniques)

Ever wish you could recover some of your favorite things, but still have some annoying stain in it? Perhaps you're willing to try a good stain remover, but it might need a little extra help to finish the job. Regardless, I have compiled a cheat sheet for you when to know how to remove some of the toughest removals. Oxy clean works great, then you have ink in your favorite shirt, pee and blood in your mattress, gum on your couch or candle wax in your carpet. What do you do?

Silk Fabric Stains- Dip rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip or  add a baking soda paste or an instant stain remover pen that you can buy at any dollar store, Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, or basically everywhere... Have a hair dryer handy to dry the tie while you dab alcohol and soak up the stain. Once it dries, if you didn't wipe too much, the color of the tie should be okay and you will no longer need to put a tie clip over the old stain. Always remember that silk will be ruined if you use water. Never use water. If not majorly fade the stain, it will remove it totally. 

Candle Wax Messes- Candle wax can be absorbed onto an old rag and melted off any fabric surface with an iron. The heat of the iron will lift and melt wax to a liquid to absorb from the fabric.

Urine and Blood Stains- After a few times, it should greatly treat old blood and urine stains by color safe bleach or a baking soda paste. Let sit and even dry, then remove. Like new!

Gum- There are a variety of things that gum can really be a bother with. Watch the video to see how you can surface clean anything touched by gum. Flat surfaces with gum stuck on them can be peeled off with a razor blade.

Ink/Paint- Follow the instructions of the video. Blood, Urine and Ink removal all have a similar protocol.
