Saving your jeans from stains: Clothing care tips

If you accidentally spill something on your favorite jeans, then you have to act quickly - just to prevent stubborn stains.

But even if the stain is already there, you still can get rid of it - you just need to know some hacks on how to do it.

Here are a few effective tips on how to do that.

Quick Action

If you spill something on your jeans, try to blot the stain as soon as possible with a clean cloth or paper towel. 

The faster you act, the easier it is to remove the stain.

Cold Water Rinse

Rinse the stained area with cold water. Hold the fabric under the tap and let the water flow through the back of the stain. 

This helps to flush out some of the stain before it sets.

Mild Soap or Detergent

Gently rub a small amount of mild soap or liquid detergent directly onto the stain. 

Use your fingers or a soft brush to work the soap into the fabric.

Soak in Saltwater

If the stain is stubborn, you can try soaking the jeans in cold water with a bit of salt. 

Dissolve a couple of tablespoons of salt in the water and let the jeans soak for a few hours.

Lemon Juice and Sun

For light stains, you can mix lemon juice with water and apply it to the stain. Let the jeans dry in the sunlight. 

The sun and lemon juice combination can help lighten some stains.

Vinegar Solution

Mix equal parts of water and white vinegar. Dab the stained area with the solution using a cloth or sponge. 

Vinegar can help break down certain types of stains.

Commercial Stain Removers

Consider using a commercial stain remover. Follow the instructions on the product carefully and test it on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Patience with Wash

When washing your jeans, make sure to check if the stain is completely gone before putting them in the dryer. 

Drying jeans with a lingering stain can set the stain permanently.
