Because of my absent-minded nature, I’ve had to get rid of an inordinate number of stains in my lifetime. The problem with stains is the number of variables involved in any mess. After making a fool of yourself, you need to consider the nature of the substance you mismanaged, as well as what kind of fabric you’ve abused. Because stains are far easier to cope with when fresh, there is often a mad scramble and panic following mishaps. In my recent article, How to Get Rid of Stains, I outline a method used by professional cleaners to lessen the chaos. They disambigulate stains by breaking them down into catagories based on their chemical makeup and how they react to cleaning methods. Next time you and your significant other besmirch the bedsheets, you’ll know that you’re dealing with a protien stain, and you’ll be able to act quickly. Read my latest article on how to get rid of stains to learn about stain catagories, stain cleaning products, and the stain cleaning “order of operations.”
