Stain Removal Tips and Tricks for the Festive Season
1. Oil Stains: The Festive Snack Trap
Samosas, pakoras, and all those delicious fried treats are a staple of Diwali. But what do you do if you get an oil stain on your favorite outfit? Don’t panic!
Solution: Sprinkle baby powder or cornstarch over the oil stain and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. The powder will absorb the oil. After brushing it off, apply dish soap or a mild detergent and gently rub before rinsing with warm water.
2. Sweets and Syrup Stains: The Sugar Rush Slip-Up
Traditional Indian sweets like gulab jamun, jalebi, and ladoos are festive favorites, but the sticky syrup can be tricky to deal with.
Solution: Immediately blot the area with a paper towel to absorb excess syrup. Then, gently dab the stain with a mixture of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio). Rinse with cold water before tossing it in the wash.
3. Spice and Curry Stains: The Masala Mishap
With Diwali feasts come vibrant, flavorful curries that are delightful on the plate but not so much on your clothes.
Solution: First, scrape off any excess curry. Next, create a paste using baking soda and water and gently rub it onto the stain. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing with cold water. For stubborn stains, soak in warm soapy water before washing.
4. Diya Oil Stains: The Festival of Lights Challenge
Lighting oil lamps (Diyas) is an integral part of Diwali, but sometimes a spill can happen.
Solution: Gently blot the oil with a paper towel or cloth. Apply rubbing alcohol to a cotton ball and dab the stain carefully. Follow this up with a wash using warm water and mild detergent.
5. Makeup Smudges: The Festive Glamour
Whether it’s your festive lipstick or eyeshadow that leaves a mark, makeup stains are all too common.
Solution: For powder-based makeup stains, brush off the excess product. For liquid makeup, apply a small amount of shaving cream to the stain and gently rub it in before washing as usual. For tougher makeup like lipstick, rubbing alcohol or makeup remover will do the trick.
