r/StainRemoval

Had a bed against the wall for the better part of 5 years, cannot remove this stain any tips or chemicals to use? Not worried about the hole in the wall atm I’ll get to that later lol

Pls help

I got my wife a pair of boots and a bag for her birthday this weekend. However her friend got her a bag of “limoncello” that broke in the bag… This year has been rough, and this small thing has crumpled her. I am attaching a photo of the bag in the post. I really need some help on how to clean it. It’s a miron Crosby bag. It’s almost like a canvas material. The canvas was custom painted with her name. If I have to get it repainted so be it, but any help would mean a lot.

Just used my washing machine for the first time and all my clothes have got weird orange marks on them, am i right in thinking these are rust residue marks if so how do I remove it asap these are my fav clothes :,(

Hi! We have a new cheerleader in the house and she just got her uniform. It has a couple of stains from last year. No clue what they are - looks like it could be soda or coffee? What would you recommend for trying to lift the stains?

Also - the loose strings on the T are annoying to me. Can I trim those without harming the uniform?

I had this little “Prada” black corduroy hat on him with little overalls and the hat stained his forehead!!! 😫
I already tried:
•magic eraser (no change)
•Dawn (no change)
•Alcohol (no change)
•Non-acetone nail polish remover (no change)
•Acetone nail polish remover - pure acetone (no change on the stain; I only ended up erasing some of the pain on the temples/top of the cheeks 😩)

I don’t know what else to try to fix this without messing anything else on his face up 😞

Any suggestions?

Not sure if this is the right place or not but hoping to get some help with this one!

I’ve recently acquired this vest to use for some hobby stuff (reenactment) and got a good deal on it due to the amount of modern graffiti on it.

The graffiti is definitely period original and so I’m looking at removing it.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions to try and get it out? As best as I can tell the graffiti seems to be done with some kind of marker, and the shell of the vest should be a tight weave cotton poplin (I believe).

I had read that acetone or isopropyl alcohol could be used to reactivate and remove the ink and while it is working it’s also bleaching the green from the vest (see the heavily faded patch on the back).

So, does anyone have any recommendations that might work without stripping the green?

Like the title says --

I had a stainless steel pot with some seriously caked-on tea stains. I tried Comet and Bar Keepers Friend with basically no luck. Citric acid helped a little, but the stains were still very much there.

What finally worked: I filled the pot with boiling water, added about 1 tsp of OxiClean, and let it soak for a few hours.

The stains came off easily afterward, and the pot looks brand new. I was honestly surprised by how well it worked, so I figured I’d share in case anyone else is fighting stubborn tea stains on stainless steel.

I have this bones necklace that I used in a goth blood rave party last week, and it got stained with the fake blood. I’m trying to remove the staining without damaging the bones.

I’ve already tried:

- Water + dish soap

- Toothpaste and gentle scrubbing with a toothbrush

- Baking Soda + dish soap and also scrubbing with the toothbrush

Unfortunately, none of these made much difference.

Does anyone have experience removing fake blood / red food dye / theatrical blood stains from bone?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Same location multiple cotton t-shirts ruined. Can’t figure it out. No oils or fancy creams used regularly to cause it. Use a front loader with normal Costco detergent. This one looks blue but mostly clear oil looking stain. Breast pocket area of front of shirts. 4-5 shirts stained. No idea! Hoping for ideas to prevent this from happening again. Thanks all!

Hi all, I’m visiting family and my adult nephew’s concert t-shirt has a yellow stain along it the hem that he can’t get out. He said it’s not sunscreen, but he’s not sure what it’s from. Any suggestions?

What he’s already done that hasn’t worked:
-put it through the normal washing machine and dryer
-spot treated with liquid detergent and soaked it in water overnight (I think he uses Arm and Hammer)

My available materials here on vacation: Puracy enzyme stain spray, Tide liquid detergent, Febu, and dish soap. If need be, I can go to the store to buy other things.

Since I don’t know what kind of stain it is, not sure if I should focus on enzymes or surfactants. Should I do a Febu soak just for that area (since there are graphics on the front of the shirt)?

Open to recommendations!

I used this sil thing bit have no clue what to do now. My washing machine is already running and this requires the cold wash program. BTW These are sirup stains. It’s 100% cotten. Can anyone please help me?

how can i get these hair dye stains off my tub its been sitting there for a few months ive tried clorox bleach baking soda and toothpaste nothing works

My washing machine has left these marks on my white clothes! I’ve dealt with the dirt in the machine but now cannot remove these stains at all. I’ve tried washing up liquid, bicarbonate of soda, white oxy stain remover, a rub on stain remover and bio laundry detergent ☹️

As in the title I am looking to somehow remove or mask the dried blue Parker fountain pen ink off a white textured wall!! Any help/ideas greatly appreciated. It doesn’t matter if there is a bit of loss of colour or texture to the wall as my landlord doesn’t really care about the walls being perfect there are loads of blemishes in the walls already, but ideally I’d get rid of the bright blue spots!

I made the dumb decision of trying to save water by putting my white LACE tank top in the laundry today with my jeans and it turned blue. I suspect it might also be the tide pod’s fault because the liquid inside it is dark blue 😔 any ideas how to turn it back to white again, I got this top 2 weeks ago pls don’t do this to me 💔💔

I searched online and it says not to use bleach and use some color stain remover. I don’t have any of that, and the only bleach I have is this. I washed the load in ‘colors’

I am not okay right now. White lace tank top if you could turn white again I would never ever put you in a dark load of clothes again and I will forever hand wash you for eternity

When I first got them it was a stain on them but i just thought it was because it got some water on it but it never disappeared? It wasn’t that clear and I didn’t want to make so much out of it but after now 2 months I haven’t eaten greasy food with it as i can remember but now i can see like 5 more? Ig the last ones are my fail but it doesn’t go away after literally 3 washes and idk how to fix it.

Hi there. I would like to remove these odd stains from my couch but I’m not eve sure where to start!

So I just noticed this darken area in my couch. I haven’t spilled anything, or left anything wet on it that I can recall. Not sure what happened here and it doesn’t smell like anything… any ideas on what this is or how to clean?
