Therefore, we decided to ask ourselves the following question: what is the most suitable method for each type of stain?
We, from awesome.clubwe also experience these problems, that’s why we researched some homemade tricks that can help eliminate stains of the most different types.

How to remove stains caused by clothes that released ink in the washing machine.

Heat some water with bay leaves and two spoons of sodium bicarbonate. When boiling, turn off the heat, put the clothes on and leave for an hour. Then wash normally.
This process is not recommended for shirts, as it can further stain areas affected by sweat.
