Towels, sheets, coverlets, duvet covers, and pillows are just a few of the linens that are important to any property but may require stain removal. It is important to take good care of these products to extend their life and retain their high quality. However, accidents like stains can occur, so it is important to know how to handle these situations when they arise. There are lots of natural home remedies and other solutions that can be used for stain removal.
Pre-treating is Effective for Stain Removal
When stains occur, it is important to act quickly so that the stain doesn’t 
have time to settle. One highly effective method for combating stains is pre-treating using a solution of white vinegar and water. It is recommended to use a solution that is 50% vinegar and 50% water. Vinegar is an extremely acidic substance that will help break down the stain and remove it efficiently and smoothly. Prior to the thorough laundering of the linen, let the stained linen sit in the vinegar and water for about fifteen minutes. Other effective stain removal solutions with simple household items to pre-treat stains are baking soda and lemon juice. For particular stains, here are other solutions using simple household items that can serve as a stain removal guide:
Laundering
The use of hot or cold water will vary depending on the type of stain. Stains from ink, coffee, and other fluids like wine will be more effectively removed with hot water because it will thoroughly break down the stain. However, hot water is not a good solution for stains that are more protein-based like grease, gravy, and blood. It will help to absorb the stain further into the linen because of the material the stain is comprised of. Cold water works better to combat these kinds of stains. Certain linens like tablecloths and dishcloths are tricky because they may be covered with a variety of stains, but cold water will avoid damaging the actual linen fibers while removing the stain.
