How To Remove Common Stains
Life is messy, and spills and stains are a part of that mess. You shouldn’t have to worry about enjoying a glass of red wine on the couch or a scrape on the floor when moving your coffee table. To make your life “less-mess,” we’ve made a list of the 6 most common household stains and how to remove them.
1. Red Wine
Let’s start with the infamous stain queen herself: red wine. One of the deepest and most intense stains, wine can be a sticky mess to clean up, both on fabric and on hard surfaces. But the solution doesn’t have to be hard.
On Fabrics:
1. Blot with water or club soda. Do not scrub, or you may make the stain set faster.
2. Salt, when sprinkled on in the first few minutes, can help to draw the stain out quickly.
3. Blot with a cleaning solution. There are two solutions for powerful cleansing:
- ¼ teaspoon of dishwashing detergent + four cups of warm water
- four cups of water and a tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide will instantly lighten the stain on white or light colored fabrics. For a deeper set stain, you can even mix dish soap and hydrogen peroxide together.
4. Spray on with a spray bottle to get a bubbling effect that will lift stains (this works in the same way as club soda).
5. Blot again with a damp, clean cloth to remove the hydrogen peroxide and any remnants of the stain.
On Hard Surfaces:
If you’ve spilled wine on light-colored countertops or flooring, the process is a little different.
1. Apply baking soda and water as a base to soak into the surface.
2. Pour vodka on the stain. That’s right, vodka! Red wine contains color pigments (anthocyanins) that can be dissolved by higher-proof alcohol, like vodka or gin. (Vodka isn’t recommended for carpeting because it can seep in and cause odors).
3. Wipe down the surface with water or a steam mop, which painlessly lifts stains from floors.
2. Lipstick
Another red demon is the accidental lipstick spill. Little bits can get loose, melt, or smear, and you’re stuck with a lasting red line that seems to get worse when you treat it. The solution is actually simpler than you think!
1. Gently remove any excess lipstick from the fabric using a butter knife.
2. Blot the stain with an acetone-based nail polish remover.
3. Follow this with a dish detergent solution of a quarter teaspoon and three cups water.
Whether red, pink, or purple, your lipstick stain should be gone in an instant!
3. Coffee, Tea, and Juice
Those dark colored beverages seem to soak into carpets and couches before you even have time to get a paper towel!
1. Blot with wet paper towels to remove all excess liquid.
2. Blot on a solution of mild dishwashing detergent, water, and ¼ cup of lemon juice. Lemon lightens stains in a similar way as hydrogen peroxide, but it will also remove that lingering coffee smell.
3. Sponge or soak the stain in cool water for several minutes.
4. Sprinkle baking soda on top to absorb the coffee-water moisture that the soaking lifted up.
5. Vacuum the baking soda up.
The stain should be gone, and you can keep drinking your coffee! If the stain persists, continue to blot the spot in the solution and cool water, rubbing gently in circular motions, working from the outside of the stain inwards.
This same method also works for pet urine stains!
5. Gum and Crayons
If you’ve ever lost a piece of gum, you know how hard it can be to remove that stickiness from any surface. Don’t put peanut butter on it, though (like you might in your hair). This process can be used for crayon marks as well!
1. Lift off as much of the gum or crayon tip as you can.
2. Dab with extra-strength Bengay.
3. Heat with a hair dryer to loosen the substance.
4. Blot cling wraps or press-and-seal paper. This can grab on to free-floating particles to help lift them up from the fabric!
5. Use a dishwashing detergent or hydrogen peroxide solution, as mentioned above.
6. Rinse with cool water.
6. Scuffs
If you have scuffs on your floors or walls from furniture, shoes, and bags, don’t rub with a solution until your back aches. The answer is just a simple Mr. Clean magic eraser. With just a little bit of water, a magic eraser does wonder to clean up scuffs and “wall bruises.” It can also remove coffee rings and polish surfaces!
7. Window Clings
Have you or your kids ever used gel window clings for holiday decorations—and then realized that they can leave a deep-set dye on your windows, fridges, and walls? Scrubbing and rubbing do nothing to removes these weeks of seeped-in color.
1. Take care to avoid your eyes and use rubber gloves. Spray bleach cleaner directly onto a paper towel.
2. Use scotch tape to keep the towel attached to your fridge or window. Ensure that the bleach is sitting flat against the dye stain.
3. Leave on for several minutes. (Make sure to leave the room so you don’t breathe in the bleach.
When you remove the paper towel, the stain should have vanished! If not, leave on for a few more minutes.
Cleaning Conclusion
For carpets and fabrics, ensure you are blotting and not rubbing.
For hard surfaces, we recommend using a steam mop to disinfect the floors and easily lift stains out. It’s also safer to use for pets and family because no detergent is necessary.
Don’t let stains get the best of your house. With just some blotting, a few cleaning-hacks, and the right HomeRev products—you can live this messy life worry free!

For the past a decade, I’ve always played lottery games with the hope that someday I will win the lottery jackpot but that never happened. I did some research on the internet and I came across an advert about Dr Amber that prepares lottery spells for people that believe in his works. I explained my situation to Dr Amber and he prepared a lottery spell for me and gave me some numbers to play the lottery and I did as he said without any skepticism. Could you believe that for the very first time in my life, I won the sum of £30,820,000 MILLION POUNDS. I thought I was dreaming until I was called by the lottery agent to come over to the office to make arrangements of how I will claim the money. Now my life has changed for good and I am a boss of my own and you can be a boss of your own too by getting in touch with Dr Amber for a lottery spell.

I am sharing this testimony to partners suffering in their relationships because there is an enduring solution. My husband left me and our 2 kids for another woman for 3 years. I tried to be strong just for my kids but I could not control the pains that torment my heart. I was hurt and confused. I needed a help, so i did a research on the internet and came across a site where I saw that Dr. Todd a spell caster, can help get lovers back. I contacted him and he did a special prayer and spells for me. To my surprises, after some days, my husband came back home. That was how we reunited again and there was a lot of love, joy and peace in the family. You can as well contact Dr. Todd, a powerful spell-caster for solutions on his contact manifestspellcast@gmail.com website:https://manifestspellcast.wordpress.com

GREAT LOVE SPELL CASTER DR PETER THAT HELP ME SAVE MY RELATIONSHIP. TEXT OR ADD HIM UP ON WHATSAPP: +2348162247974
My name is CARLY ARDEN .I want to give thanks to DR PETER for bringing back my ex husband. No one could have ever made me believe that the letter I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Trust is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person, It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles; I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn’t face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again. I was confused and did not know what to do again, rather than to get in contact with DR PETER . He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. DR PETER makes him realize how much we love and need each other. This man is for REAL and for good. He can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counseling, and we’re doing very, very well, in our love life. contact email drpeterspellcaster21@gmail.com / text or add him up on WhatsApp +2348162247974https://drpeterspellcaster2.blogspot.com/ https://web.facebook.com/drpeterspellcaster21
