Deodorant Stains
Try and remove these stains as soon as possible as, left untreated, these can change the colour of the fabric.
Products include rubber foam pads to wipe the stains away and spray removers.
Miss Oops Rescue Sponge, Skid Out, Hollywood Squares, Hollywood Curves Removing Sponges.
Deo-Go Deodorant & Antiperspirant Stain Remover.
Ballpoint Pen
Hairspray is great to remove marks made by pen.
The cheaper the better as it's the alcohol in hairspray that does the trick ! Just spray the area before
you launder the garment but try to wash
immediately as there is glue and other ingredients in hairspray that could affect the garment if left.
Products for your
laundry kit:
Eye Dropper: Great for applying a laundry product directly to the site of a stain.
Oxygen Bleach: Usually comes as a powder but can
also be found in liquid form.

Hydrogen Peroxide: Picked up cheaply from any pharmacy.
Borax: Naturally occuring mineral deposit which boosts the cleaning power of your detergent. www.intralabs.co.uk
Ammonia: Alot of people swear by this to remove
blood from clothing. Do not use with bleach.
Salt: Good for removing blood, urine,
faeces and vomit.
