Get Rid Of Tough Laundry Stains With This Simple Solution

Picture this: You're at dinner with your family or friends and wearing your favorite shirt when suddenly a small piece of your food falls from your fork onto your shirt. You look down, see a bright spot in the middle of your shirt and panic. You can do nothing except dab a wet napkin on the spot to try to prevent the stain from setting. Instead of relying on a damp cloth, carrying baby wipes can help treat the mess and remove many of the toughest laundry stains. If you don't notice the stain until you get home, blotting it with a baby wipe will help eliminate it before throwing it in the washer.

Spot treatments can be expensive and don't always work as effectively as we want them to. However, baby wipes are more affordable. You can purchase a large case of them and keep a few in the bathroom, laundry room, and kitchen for quick and easy access. Plus, baby wipes are available in travel packs to keep one in your car for emergencies. You might have never guessed baby wipes were a solution to all your stained laundry problems. They're so easy to use that they'll be your holy grail stain remover. 

A thread on Reddit attested to the baby wipe theory, where folks claimed baby wipes helped remove stains from the walls, laundry, carpet, sofa, and floor stains. Once you have your baby wipes, take your clothing, dab the baby wipe over the stain a few times, and watch the stain disappear. Using a moist baby wipe is ideal to remove the stain effectively. If there isn't a change in your laundry, Sean Parry, a cleaning expert for Neat Services, claims, "add a little washing-up liquid to a baby wipes and apply to the area in question," per Reader's Digest. The detergent will help boost the active ingredients when applied to the clothing. Throw it in the washing machine if you end up with light results.

Even though baby wipes are quick and easy to use to treat stains, it's vital to take cautionary steps when using them on your clothes. Baby wipes will work on most fabrics and colors but not all. You should avoid applying baby wipes to delicate fabrics like linen and silk because it could leave a more prominent stain. These items should be treated with a dry cloth and then taken to the cleaners. You can use baby wipes on satin and polyester materials.
