How to get rid of stains on children's clothes without chemicals: easy ways

Summer is most children's favorite time of year: what could be better than racing a soccer ball, climbing trees, or riding a bicycle? Parents' enthusiasm for carefree vacations goes a little low when they have to wash children's clothes almost daily - and grass, fruit or berry stains are not so easy to get rid of.

Often parents do not risk using chemicals on delicate fabrics. OBOZREVATEL selected simple ways to get rid of stains on children's clothes without chemicals.

Grass or earth stains

While the stain is still fresh, blot the spot with a damp cloth - it should absorb all the dirt. Apply lemon juice or white vinegar to the stain - the acids will help remove the stain effectively. Leave the juice or vinegar on the garment for about 20-30 minutes. If necessary, machine wash the garment additionally.

Berry and Fruit Stains

Three simple steps can quickly clean clothes from berry or fruit stains.

1. Soak the dirty thing in cold water for 15 minutes.
2. Laundry soap, when penetrating into the fibers of fabrics, will clean clothes from deep stains. Rub it on the soiled area and leave it for 10 minutes.
3. Rinse the baby thing in cold water and run the washing cycle in the machine.

Blood Stains

Active entertainment often leads to minor injuries, and outdoor games can cause broken knees. If blood stains have appeared on clothing, experts advise treating the fabric with hydrogen peroxide and washing by hand in warm water. This tiphack is suitable for light-colored clothes, because hydrogen peroxide has a pronounced bleaching effect.

You can, by the way, use regular salt. After repeated washing cycles, the clothes begin to fade. Special powders for preserving color do not always guarantee the desired effect. Washing with salt in conditions of scarcity was used even by our grandmothers, so it is a time-tested means. Is it possible to use this trick when washing things in the machine?
