Yellow stain on white clothes
Who hasn't had this problem? In the collar or in the armpit area, it is difficult to take off. Long time use, deodorant and sweat are responsible. You can remove this stain with apple cider vinegar or white vinegar. Let the clothes soak in warm water and vinegar for an hour, rinse well and wash with soap with natural raw materials, such as coconut soaps, for example.
Stain on colored clothing
Apply mild bar soap all over your clothes. Put three drops of vinegar on the stain, wait an hour, rinse the piece with water and a spoon of vinegar and wash it with soap that has natural raw material.
lipstick stain
Wet a cloth with white vinegar or eucalyptus oil and dab it over the stain. Wash the piece with products with natural raw material.
