Getting Stains out of Fabric and Quilts

By admin | Jun 2, 2009

 

Do you have a stain that just wont budge? There is nothing more frustrating then putting hours into a project to only have it get stained. I have a little secret I have been using for quite awhile and it really has about an 85% success rate for me. Not only does it work great on quilts but it works really well on the cotton clothing!

Please note that before trying this you will definitely want to try it on a small area first to make sure it will not hurt your fabric, especially if it is a treasured older quilt. What I do is take the Clorox 2 granules and add Dawn dish detergent until it forms a paste, you will want the consistency of Elmers glue.

clorox-2dawn2

Next apply the paste to the stain and allow it to sit for about 24 hours. Throw it in the wash or if it is not washable hand wash with luke warm water and the stain should be gone!

If you have left over paste put it in a tupperware  container or a similar container and save it for the next stain!

Hope everyone enjoys this tip!

Happy Quilting!
