How to Remove Every Type of Stain from Clothing

-

 Stains happen. Coffee, wine, ketchup…ugh. I’ve ruined a few favorites before learning these tricks. Here’s what actually works.

How to Remove Every Type of Stain from Clothing

1. Coffee & Tea

Blot, don’t rub. Mix cold water with a little detergent, soak 15 minutes. I once spilled coffee on a white shirt—followed this, and it came out perfectly.

2. Red Wine

Sprinkle salt immediately to absorb. Then wash with cold water and detergent. I’ve saved many dinner-party mishaps this way.

3. Grease & Oil

Cornstarch or baking soda works wonders. Let it sit, brush off, then wash. I once treated a lipstick-and-grease combo—miracle.

4. Ink

Hairspray or rubbing alcohol on the stain, dab gently. I’ve tested this on pens gone rogue in my bag—it works.

5. Blood

Cold water first. Soap + hydrogen peroxide if needed. Hot water = nope, it sets the stain. Learned this the hard way in high school.

6. Makeup

Makeup remover wipes, then gentle detergent. Works better than scrubbing. I did this on a favorite sweater—saved it completely.

7. Mud & Dirt

Let it dry, brush off, then pre-soak. Always check before tossing in the washer. I’ve ruined a few jeans ignoring this step—lesson learned.

My Takeaway:
Every stain has a trick. Quick action + the right method = saved clothes. Honestly, once you know these hacks, stains feel less scary—and you can keep your favorites looking fresh.

Let’s talk honestly, woman to woman. There are days—ugh, those days—when you catch your reflection and sigh. Your jeans feel tight, your energy’s low, and everything you try on just feels... wrong. The scale might not have budged, but your mood sure did. And somehow, the mirror knows. I’ve been there more times than I can count. Here’s what I’ve learned: feeling “off” in your body isn’t permanent. It’s not your size, not your worth, not even the real you. It’s a passing moment. But the right outfit? That can change your entire vibe in minutes. These are the exact go-to outfit ideas I reach for when I’m bloated, burned out, or just not feeling my best—but still want to look pulled together and feel like myself again . 1. 🖤 The “Everything Feels Tight” Outfit: Black-on-Black with Texture Black is magic. But the secret is texture —not just tossing on basic leggings and a tee. Try this combo: Flowy black palazzo pants Ribbed or wrap black top (something that defines your shape, gent...

Let’s talk honestly for a second. How many times have you bought a lip liner that looked amazing in the store… only to get home, try it on, and realize it either made you look washed out or like you’d drawn your lips with a crayon? Been there. Way too many times. The truth is, finding the right lip liner is a little like dating — you’re looking for one that just gets you . It needs to blend in , enhance , and stay through life’s ups and downs (okay, or at least your second coffee). Luckily, there are a few holy grail liners that do all of the above — no matter your skin tone, lipstick shade, or even if you’re going bare-faced. So let’s break it down. 💄 What Actually Makes a Lip Liner “Universal”? We throw that word around a lot, but here’s what I really mean when I say these go with everything: They mimic or gently boost your natural lip tone They’re neither too pink nor too brown — they sit right in the middle They’re smooth, not dry or draggy They stay put , even after...

10 Styling Rules That Changed How I Dress (And Feel) Let me be honest—there was a time when I thought fashion was just about copying the latest trends.
