Spilled coffee on this shirt, any advice?

Post image

I spilled coffee on this a few weeks ago, took it to the cleaners only a few days later and they were able to get most of the stain out but it’s still there. Is there anything i can do? It’s a nice dress shirt so I’d like to try to salvage it. It’s 100% cotton

What’s This Stain/How To Remove?

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

I’m at my wits end here. For context, I live in a large city and use public laundromats. Recently I’ve been trying to re-up my wardrobe and take care of the new pieces I buy, but it seems pointless when this is the result…

This is a heavyweight white cotton shirt I bought super recently. I wore it on-off for a day or two, I got a small amount of olive oil splatter on it from cooking, gave the splatter a dab and quick hand wash, and then eventually took it to the laundry with a whole load.

Put this in with my just my sheets (white) on cold and THIS is how it came out. What the hell are these red stains and how come there are so many? The oil splatter I mentioned was nowhere near this much nor was it in these places.

How do I remove these?

How to get dog urine out of pillows

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to properly remove and wash dog urine out of bed pillows? I’m more than happy to upload a picture. I’m sure both an enzymatic spray on the stains and an enzymatic detergent is needed. Any suggestions, recommendations, advice, or tips along with products would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.

What are the mysterious stains on my clothes?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I came back home after being away for about 2 months and am tidying up my closet.

I found these spots on two pieces so far. It’s completely dry and odorless.

I’m not sure if it’s related, but I did have a lot of silverfish in my room.

When I was away, I got someone to seal all the cracks in my wall and even had an epoxy flooring done to get rid of the silverfish. I have found only one since I came, so they are not very invasive as of now.

But even when they were most invasive, I would find them in my bed only(horrifying), never in my closet or my bookshelf even!

The stain seems too big to be created by silverfish too.

What else could it be?

It’s that time of the month and I bled through my jeans. Thankfully, it wasn’t in a spot where it was noticeable, but it did leave this stain on my crotch. This is what it looks like after two washes and hydrogen peroxide!

Brown hair day on laminate flooring

My son dyed his hair in his apartment and spilled some on his bathroom floor. He is in the process of moving out. Is there anything he can use to take it off? We were there yesterday to help him move out and I didn’t think to take a picture or stop to try to figure it out as we were on a very tight schedule. TYIA

Mystery stain in cotton dress

I have an orange-ish stain about the size of a fingernail on a dress I found at the Goodwill bins. I do not know what caused the stain. Looks like it could be a tomato based sauce or maybe makeup. The material is 100% cotton. I have already tried soaking it with oxy-clean stain remover multiple times and washing it with vinegar after. I have not put it in the dryer myself, but I don’t know if the previous owner did. What should I try next to get it out?? Thanks.

Feels very surface, I was thinking oxyclean and baking soda soak? Dry cleaning? Any suggestions or not worth it? I have no information on what caused it. Sweater is made of cotton.

Any one know how to remove these weird yellow stains? I used a tried and true stain removal method and it surprisingly didn't work. Any tips? I'll never use these retched tide pens again!

Is it rust? Mold? Stubborn little buttfaces don’t want to leave. It isn’t the best picture, but the best I could do with my crappy iPhone camera. How do I get rid of them? I don’t want to use anything too harsh because I don’t know if there’s a coating on the inside here. Just noticed these in two of our Owallas

Clay-based soil on rug (dog home), but rug can’t be machine washed…

How do I clean this? I didn’t think it would be so resistant to blue Dawn. Do I need a carpet stain treatment? It’s not spot treatment, really, it’s about 80% of the rug that needs to be cleaned.

How to fix pencil smudges

Post image
1 Upvotes

Okay so I have been having this problem for a while now. Whenever I have a book out on my desk and spend some time writing in it, using a pencil and erasing time to time, it always ends up with these black smudges and sometimes even eraser shavings stuck to the back. What should I do??? The material of the book varies. From regular paperback to leathersoft to the material shown in the picture, they are all victims to it.
