WEEKLY LAUNDRY TIP #27
"Alkaline stains. Alkaline stains include perspiration, grass, tarnish, mineral deposits, tannins (from tea and coffee), alcoholic drinks, and mustard. As a general treatment, flush with water to dilute the base, neutralize with a mild vinegar solution, rinse with water, and launder as usual. Other acids useful in treating alkaline stains include lemon juice and cream of tartar."
From "Natural Stain Removal Secrets" by Deborah L. Martin (page 50)

WEEKLY LAUNDRY TIP #26
"Hydrogen peroxide (3-percent type used for first-aid, not for bleaching hair): a mild bleach; good for spot-treatment and "touching up" marks left after other stain-removal treatments have done a partial job; safe for most fabrics; loses its potency over time--buy only what you need, and discard any solution left over after treating a stain."
From "Natural Stain Removal Secrets" by Deborah L. Martin (page 49-50)

WEEKLY LAUNDRY TIP #25
"Erasers (art gum and regular): mildly abrasive for rubbing away pencil marks, greasy spots, and dirty fingerprints on painted walls and wallpaper; keep a couple on hand for stain removal only, and rub them clean after use."
From "Natural Stain Removal Secrets" by Deborah L. Martin (page 49)

WEEKLY LAUNDRY TIP #24
"Dishwashing liquid (clear or white, near-neutral pH): made to clean dishes and cookware, it also is useful in treating stains from food and drinks; cuts greasy stains and loosens many others; in a mild solution with water, makes a fine laundry pretreatment. For stain-removal tasks, choose a product without added bleach, fragrance, or moisturizers."
From "Natural Stain Removal Secrets" by Deborah L. Martin (page 48)

WEEKLY LAUNDRY TIP #23
"Acid Stains. Most stains are acidic in nature, from hamburger fat to dirt, fruit juices, soft drinks, and tomatoes. As a general treatment, dilute acidic stains by flushing them with water, neutralize with baking soda or ammonia solution, rinse with water, and blot or launder as usual. Washing soda or borax may be added to the washing machine to enhance the stain and soil removal."
From "Natural Stain Removal Secrets" by Deborah L. Martin (page 48)

WEEKLY LAUNDRY TIP #22
"Cream of tartar (bitartrate of potassium): mildly acidic abrasive; used in cooking; sold with spices in the grocery store; may be mixed with water to make a paste for cleaning tarnish from metals or for lifting stains from colored fabrics."
From "Natural Stain Removal Secrets" by Deborah L. Martin (page 47)

WEEKLY LAUNDRY TIP #21
"Cornstarch: silky textured powder used as a thickener in puddings, sauces, and soups; another handy absorbent that travels well from the kitchen to wherever it's needed to soak up wet or oily stains; a word of caution, however: its fine texture can make it difficult to get out of carpet and upholstery fibers."
From "Natural Stain Removal Secrets" by Deborah L. Martin (page 47)

WEEKLY LAUNDRY TIP #20
"Club Soda: very slightly acidic, this popular drink mixer helps fizz away stains such as alcohol, coffee, tea, and red wine; safe and odorless; a good first treatment for old or mystery stains. Watch out for sweeteners and flavorings when shopping for club soda--you need the plain stuff for stain treatment."
From "Natural Stain Removal Secrets" by Deborah L. Martin (page 47)

WEEKLY LAUNDRY TIP #19
"Bran: a safe, stable absorbent material for soaking up wet or oily stains on upholstery or carpets."
From "Natural Stain Removal Secrets" by Deborah L. Martin (page 46)

WEEKLY LAUNDRY TIP #18
"Borax (sodium tetraborate decahydrate): a mildly alkaline powder most often used as a laundry booster to enhance soil removal; a reasonably good deordorizer; useful in some stain-removal applications.”
From "Natural Stain Removal Secrets" by Deborah L. Martin (page 46)

WEEKLY LAUNDRY TIP #17
"Why pH matters. A quick chemistry lesson: Most cleansers are alkaline because most soiling agents are acidic. If you know whether a stain you're dealing with is acidic (most likely) or alkaline, you can neutralize it with an opposite product. Neutralizing a stain loosens its hold on the surface and lessens its ability to cause damage such as bleaching. Bear in mind, however that both acids and alkalies can set proteins, so be careful when dealing with combination stains (gravy, for example) that may have a protein component.".mhqg
