Stains are a part of everyday life, but removing them isn't always easy. Fortunately, with the right methods and effective cleaning products, you can get surfaces and textiles clean again without unnecessary scrubbing. Here’s a comprehensive guide to removing the most common stains!

1. Grease Stains (Kitchen, Clothes, Furniture)

Grease stains are among the most challenging, but they are not impossible to remove.

  • Kitchen surfaces: Spray our kitchen cleaner directly on the stain, let it sit for a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the stain, and wipe it off.
  • Clothes: Sprinkle some baking soda or cornstarch on the stain, let it absorb, and wash as usual.
  • Sofas and other fabric surfaces: Use a mild soap solution and gently wipe with a microfiber cloth.

2. Coffee and Tea Stains

These stains can quickly absorb into fabrics and hard surfaces.

  • Clothes: Rinse with cold water as soon as possible and treat with a stain remover.
  • Cups and dishes: Rub the stain with a paste of baking soda and water, then rinse well.
  • Tables and countertops: Wipe immediately with a damp cloth and our multi-purpose kitchen cleaner.

3. Ink Stains (Clothes, Table Surfaces)

Ink can be tough to remove, but with the right techniques, you can succeed.

  • Clothes: Dab a little alcohol (such as hand sanitizer) onto the stain, let it sit for a moment, and wash as usual.
  • Table surfaces: Wipe immediately with our all-purpose cleaner and dry with a soft cloth.

4. Red Wine and Berry Stains

  • Clothes: Sprinkle salt on the stain immediately and let it absorb the liquid, then rinse with cold water before washing.
  • Carpets and sofas: Spray with a mild cleaning solution and gently blot with a cloth—do not rub!
  • Wood and stone countertops: Wipe immediately with a damp cloth and a suitable cleaner, such as our kitchen cleaner.

5. Limescale and Soap Residue (Bathroom, Kitchen)

  • Tiles and shower walls: Spray with our bathroom cleaner, let it sit for a few minutes, and wipe off. If needed, use a sponge.
  • Faucets and showerheads: Soak in a vinegar-water solution and scrub gently to clean.

6. Chocolate and Ice Cream Stains

  • Clothes: Rinse with cold water and use a stain remover before washing. Our kitchen cleaner is also suitable for stain removal from textiles!
  • Sofas and carpets: Carefully scrape off excess chocolate and wipe with a damp cloth with mild detergent.

General Cleaning Tips

  • Act quickly to prevent stains from setting deep!
  • Always use the right cleaning solution for the surface and material.
  • Test the cleaner on a small area before using it on delicate materials.
