How can I get stains out of white clothes?

Caroline Jackson, who is the Creative Director at Monsoon, has shared a cheap hack that can be used to get rid of tough stains.

If you want to avoid expensive cleaning products and chemicals, this hack might be worth testing out.

The hack is simple to do so won’t take too much time out of your day to complete.

Caroline said: “Baking soda, mixed with lemon juice, white vinegar, dish soap and cold water is what is going to successfully refresh your clothes without trying different brands and sprays that will end up costing a fortune.

“Rinse the stain with cold water, then simply add the combined mixture on the stain, grab a toothbrush and brush the stain away.

“This should help lift marks on the suitable fabric but I always recommend testing first, because lemon juice and vinegar can affect some fibres and finishes.

“It’s important to note that leaving lemon too long on fabrics can cause discolouration, so ensure you keep a close eye when treating any stains using this method.”

It is likely that you will already have a few of these things at home already.

However, if you need to buy anything, you can get the items from Aldi with the baking soda costing 65p, lemon juice costing 69p, distilled vinegar costing 35p, and washing up liquid costing 62p.

Common mistakes when removing stains from white clothing

Caroline also brought up some common mistakes people often make when trying to get rid of stains.

She said people can often use too much stain remover, which can leave a residue behind, or using too much heat, which can cause more harm than good to the item of clothing.

You should check the garment labels to see what fabric it is made from, as different fabrics will respond differently to treatments.
