What if we told you there are unconventional, yet highly effective ways to get rid of those pesky stains? Other than Toss of course! Here are some creative and surprising methods to keep your clothes looking flawless.
- Baking Soda for Sweat Stains
Sweat stains are a common issue, especially on light-coloured clothing. Baking soda, an unusual yet effective solution, can help. To use it, make a paste by mixing equal parts baking soda and water, then apply it to the stained area and let it sit for about 30 minutes before washing the garment as usual. Baking soda works by neutralizing odours and breaking down the stain, leaving your clothes looking fresh and clean.
- Chalk for Grease Stains
Grease stains can be tricky, but white chalk can save the day. Rub white chalk directly onto the grease stain before washing. The chalk powder absorbs the oil, making it easier to wash out the stain in the laundry. This method works wonders on fabrics like cotton and linen. If you are unable to use chalk. Corn-starch is a great alternative.
- Aspirin for Deodorant Marks
If you’ve ever struggled with stubborn deodorant marks on your favourite black shirt, aspirin might be your new go-to remedy. Crush a couple of aspirin tablets and mix them with a bit of water to create a paste. Apply the paste to the deodorant marks and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off. This hack helps break down the residues, restoring your clothes to their former glory. Unable to use Aspirin? Not a problem! Instead of aspirin, use white vinegar to tackle stubborn deodorant marks. Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle, spray the affected area, and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing. Vinegar is a natural deodorizer and can help break down deodorant residue.
- White Bread for Lipstick Stains

- Shaving Cream for Makeup Smudges
