Stain remover and benefits

Stain Remover and benefits Cleaning wax spills:Another greasy stain that turns up all over the place. If the wax is still liquid (it just spilt), freeze it hard quickly with ice cubes before it has time to work its way into the fabric or fibres of whatever you spilt it on. If it’s already hard, proceed to the next step, which is to pick it off with the help of your fingernails and/or a blunt knife blade. A little bit will still remain. You need the help of an iron set on low and a stash of paper towels or loo paper. Cover the site of the spill with a paper towel, preferably putting one paper towel on each side of the item, although you can’t do this when cleaning wax off carpets for obvious reasons. Melt the remaining wax by pressing the iron onto the site through the paper towel. Repeat with a fresh paper towel (or bit of paper towel) until no more wax comes out. A small mark may still remain. Treat this as you would any other grease stain (see above).Don’t bother trying to clean wax off a wooden floor – just rub the wax in. It will do the wood a lot of good. Lipstick:Some people swear by glycerine as the best natural method for removing lipstick stains. Other people prefer strong alcohol, such as vodka, methylated spirits or rubbing alcohol. Whichever method you prefer, rub the stain remover over the site and rub in well before washing as normal. In the case of cleaning lipstick off carpets or curtains (probably courtesy of a small child), this will involve gently scrubbing the spot with warm soapy water until the stain has gone, then blotting and sponging with fresh water to rinse.
