Stain Removal Guide - Out Spot Out!
By Debra Frick
How many times have you found a stain, whether it be on your favorite shirt or on your brand new carpet or on your favorite easy chair, and wondered "How am I going to get this out?" Well, I have put together a chart that you will be able to print out and laminate and put next to your washer for the next time you need instructions or things to try to remove that stain. But first, we will need to go into some basic principles that pertain to any stain you might encounter.
Is the metal stainless steel? If so, make a paste of baking soda and water, spread it on the metal, then rub with a small piece of aluminum foil. Kinda messy, but will also shine chrome bumpers and furniture. For the scissors you may need a spritz of WD40 to free up the hinge joint.
Years ago, we used a product called Noxon. It worked great. Not even sure if it's still available. Yup, just found it on google search. Might be at your local retailer.
