You are busy enjoying your favorite meal when you suddenly realize that you dropped ketchup on your dress. How in the world are you going to remove this pesky stain? Or you lift your arm and suddenly get blown away by the unpleasant odor coming from your shirt. Will this unpleasant smell ever leave my beloved shirt, you wonder?

If you feel that you ponder over these two questions time and again with no luck, boy do we have news for you. Not only is it possible to remove stubborn stains and unpleasant odors from clothes, but it's super easy too, and we are going to show you how.

How to get stains out of clothes? Without further ado, let's get into the details.

Isn't it frustrating when your dress gets a tough stain that seems impossible to remove? Use the following proven tips to get rid of stains hassle-free:

Before we start talking about ink marks, it is essential to mention that different ink types require different types of treatment. If you get ballpoint ink stains, place tissue paper under the spot. Then take some rubbing alcohol and apply it to the stained area. If the marks are larger, soak them for at least 15 minutes. 

Using a clean cloth, blot at the stain until no more ink transfers. Next, rinse and apply any stain removal solution and wash with hot water.

Spilled tea on your shirt? No need to worry; rinse the stain as soon as you can using cold water. Always remember to run water on the backside of the stain instead of the top. Then rub a liquid detergent into the stain. Leave it there for five minutes. Next, rinse and do your laundry like usual. Voila, your stubborn tea stains will be gone for good. 

Another tip for wet tea spots is to apply baking soda generously to the stained area and then doing your laundry as usual. 

Even though felt-tip ink is harder to remove, it is certainly possible. It is recommended to first rinse the stain using cold water. Next, you have to soak the fabric in hot water that contains any liquid laundry detergent. If you have any ammonia, add that too. 

Gently rub the stain with this water solution and let it soak for at least 1 hour or overnight if the spot seems too stubborn. Once the soaking process is done, rub some more detergent on it, and then machine wash it at home or go to your laundromat as usual. 

Collar Marks:

Stubborn spots around the collar driving you crazy? We have got it covered; all you need is some shampoo to welcome clean and shiny collars. 

Simply pour some shampoo on the affected collar and rub it so that it soaks deep into it. Allow it to stay for half an hour, and then thoroughly rinse it. Although any shampoo will get the job done, it is recommended to use one that is specially formulated for oily hair.
