There are at least 3 effective ingredients for removing deep stains, freeing them from that grayish patina that always stains them.
The first is the ubiquitous baking soda (when it comes to household chores)! To use it properly, you need to prepare a kind of paste by mixing it with water poured flush with the paste.
Let it thicken, then spread it over the affected areas and let it sit for 15 minutes. After this time, brush well. At this point, if you still notice halos, repeat the procedure. Finally, wash the garment as usual, following the instructions on the label.
Marseille soap is also a powerful stain remover. Spread it on your collar and cuffs, then rub it into your handkerchiefs. Let it sit for ten minutes, then proceed as usual.
Finally, the amazing trick to remove stains from t-shirts is to use dish detergent.
It’s unthinkable, isn’t it? Simply pour a small amount onto the affected areas and massage in. Now let the t-shirt soak in cold water. Rub it in again every now and then. Continue for an hour before putting it in the washing machine and starting the special program!
Easy, isn’t it? Shirt collars are usually a real headache. In fact, the shirts themselves are, simply because ironing them is a difficult task, especially if you want to achieve impeccable results. But that’s another story. Here, we want to focus on the most difficult areas to renew, such as the collar and cuffs: between the seams, due to continuous friction, dirt and dead skin cells accumulate. Often, the washing machine alone isn’t enough to leave them intact and clean. But let’s not give in to despair!
