00:00 Introduction
Thanks to the Laundry Evangelist's Laundry Camp for many of the tips shown in this video. If you ever have the chance to visit it at the Mall of America, you should do so.
No matter how careful a man may be in his day-to-day life with his clothes, the occasional stain is inevitable whether it be from a plate of spaghetti and impromptu tire change on the side of the road or really any time spent with a toddler, you're bound to encounter a tough stain at some point. Fortunately, however, stain removal doesn't have to be a chore or involve the dry cleaner. As long as you understand some basic chemistry you'll be all set.
01:10 Four Basic Types Of Stains
Stains can be organic or inorganic in nature and from there can be oily or not. In other words, the four types of stains are organic, inorganic, oily organic, and oily inorganic. As examples of each of these, stains from living organisms including plants are considered organic, things like grass stains, blood, or red wine. Meanwhile, stains from manmade materials are inorganic, things like ink, solvents, or machine dust. Oily organics are things like barbecue sauce or sweat stains and oily inorganics are generally cosmetics like lipstick.
02:15 How To Get Rid Of Stains
First, standard organic stains are best treated with hot water and a substance that's commonly marketed as bleach alternative. Bleach alternative and oxygen bleach are marketing names for a substance that's scientifically known as sodium percarbonate or SPC for short. It's the active ingredient in cleaners like Oxiclean but whereas those types of commercial cleaners usually contain fillers, SPC is most effective in its pure form.
For treatment of an organic stain, start by laying a towel down on your work surface. Actually, for any of the types of stains, we're about to cover, putting down a clean towel is a good idea. Next, add a bit of SPC, we used about 1/2 capful to a basin of hot water and stir to completely dissolve it. Then, thoroughly wet the stained area of the garment in question with the hot water and SPC mixture. Lay the garment flat on the towel and gently blot at the stain with a clean cotton cloth, washcloth, or towel. You can also use a garment safe stain brush on most fabrics as we're doing here. After pre-treating your stain this way, it can be washed as normal in your machine and if you'd like, you can also add a bit more SPC directly to the drum of the machine during the wash process.
Next, standard inorganic stains like ink are best removed by the use of a solvent. Rubbing alcohol or more technically isopropyl alcohol is best here. Although you can also use different substances like plain vodka. Applying the alcohol to the stain with a spray bottle works well after which point it can be gently blotted. Then wash as normal and as before, you can add some SPC to the machine if you'd like.
All oily stains whether they're organic or inorganic in nature are best treated by first dealing with the oil. As oils often surround other staining substances, we'll be looking at these stains sort of like a stain sandwich that is oil layer, stain layer, oil layer. To remove the first oil layer, fill a spray bottle with a solution of 50 percent white vinegar and 50 percent water. Spray the oil layer of the stain and then blot. Actually, using a stain brush may work best here. Next, apply a bit of water along with laundry detergent or better yet soap flakes and scrub again to deal with the main stain layer and for the final oil layer, spray again with your water and vinegar solution and blot or scrub a final time. To finish here, you guessed it! Wash as normal with optional SPC.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. NO. Never EVER EVER put hot water on blood stains, or any protein stains. That just cooks the stain into the garment and you'll never get it out. COLD water soak, at least an hour, then handwash the stain out, THEN launder it with hot water if you feel it's necessary. Please take my word for this - I'm a woman. Believe me, we know from bloodstains. (Think a minute. It'll come to you.)
It did.
I've done both. No difference
I use dove bar soap for blood stain. Works perfectly all the time

lolest me too i have my note book ,
You are not alone!
Really great video; I'm a cleaning specialist from Ireland I hope you don't me making a few comments if I may!
1). Solvent reactive stains should be blotted out not brushed in; especially when dealing with cottons, wools and silks; they will absorb the migrant dyes you have activated.
2). Sodium Per Carbonate should be dissolved in 50 degree water (NEVER boiling water it is highly reactive and can explode) before application - heating thereafter with a hairdryer or iron will increase the reaction. Careful though it is injurious to both wool and silk.
3). Chlorine bleach at 1% is still commonly used in laundries for stain removal on WHITE cotton towels and bed linen, though it will degrade cellulose fibres over time; as a last resort I would personally use it on white cottons though I would usually reach for per carbonate or vinegar first (vinegar is good for tannic stains).
4). Biological or enzyme laundry detergents will generally take care of the rest of the stains you pre-treat with the exception of non organics.
I really liked your video and I subbed :)

Thank you for this wonderful video. The ink stains on my daughter's bag has been for months. Alcohol and dishwashing did it as you said in your video. It works. I did it repeatedly until the stain is gone.

Hey Preston I'd like to say a big thank you for the reminder about the alternate configuration of the french cuff. I'm currently on a journey to Finland by coach in a somewhat casual outfit; french cuff dress shirt with camel hair cable knit cardigan and high rise trousers. It's very hot anf stuffy on the coach, so I've had to remove my tie and roll up my sleeves. I was regretting my choice of french cuffs because they ruined the silhouette of the sleeves of the cardigan. But then you reminded me of the variation of the french cuff towards the end of this video, and I feel so much more confortable, and confident in my outfit now. All these little reminders within the videos are wonderful. Thank you so much for the small things, that make such a difference, and provide comfort in one's outfit.
For underarm stains from anti-perspirant I’ve used a liquid concentrate version of tri-sodium phosphate or TSP. It is mainly a degreaser but used in combination with a stain remover like “Shout” or something similar sprayed directly on the inner side of the undershirt and scrubbed with a brush works right before your eyes, literally!!!!
I have also use borax powder but my go to is TSP spray and Shout together sprayed heavily onto the affected areas.
This also works great with “ring around the collar”
Where do you get the TSP?
@@mulliganstew72 Hardware store or Amazon and it comes in either liquid or powder form
After you scrub it down with the ingredients do you wash like normal afterward?
@@johanpalacios4218 Suggest rinsing out first. This is very strong, wear gloves,sold as SpicandSpan,powder is cheaper and easier to work with,can dute in water first.If this helps?
I had work shirts that were a polyester-cotton blend. To remove ink stains I found a lot of success saturating the stain with a classic hairspray and using an old toothbrush to work it in. It performed quite nicely to remove the ink. Finish in the washing machine. Thanks for your added tips.
Spray Sunscreen Sport works as well. But is depends on the kind of ink, it removes some inks, but not the others, go figure.
My goodness I’m trying so hard to save my white shirt, I feel like tearing my hair out
I'm guessing what did the work was the solvent in the hairspray, or maybe the refrigerant/propellant still dissolved in it. The solvent is most likely. Hairspray is a sticky substance dissolved in a solution to stay liquid, and it's shot out of the spray can with a propellant. Sometimes CO2, sometimes butane and propane, sometimes a refrigerant like R134a, etc. The liquid then sprays out of the can onto your hair, and the solvent leaves the liquid because it rapidly evaporates into the air which thickens and sets the hairspray. I'm guessing that's what it was. There are frequently cosmetic alcohols in hygiene and beauty products along with water. A polar solvent will remove some molecules and a non-polar solvent will remove others; it's dependant on chemistry and electric charge distribution of the stain compound.
I’m very glad you aren’t advertising any “miracle product” but rather giving advice on what you can use in general from different cleaning companies or using what you already have.
Very nice! That is very similar to my own sweat stain removal method! Great work!
I recently bought a beautiful lambs wool jacket at a thrift store. The only problem was that the previous owner left a cough drop in the side pocket. When it was steam pressed, the cough drop melted into the pocket and jacket. I took a chance, checked the internet, and found that the hardened candy could be easily removed with white vinegar …… worked like a charm!
Very informative. I also appreciate the explanation of the harmonic aspect of the outfit

I wouldn't give up on a white lined jacket that two drycleaners 🙄said they couldn't remove stains from. It fits me perfectly & is my classic style. Ha!

all of you had to say somthing about his look,the video its helpful and he is an original!
oh and for underarm stains, the hydrogen peroxide works really well too. If they are really bad you may need to up the volume of the peroxide from 10 vol to 15 vol or 20 volume. let it sit overnight. some clothes that are colorfast should be checked to see if this method takes any color out if it. It doesn't on most fabrics but you should test it if you're concerned.
This video was very helpful! Thanks!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Fam this man is smart!
Mans doing bits you know
One of my friend's that works at the men's formal wear wholesale store that I shop at, recommended a mixture of Dawn dish soap, peroxide and baking soda to remove ring around the collar.
Apply the mixture with a stiff brush or tooth brush, let sit for half an hour and wash as usual.
What if we dont have Dawn soap in my country? can any do?
Be careful not to overdo it with the dish soap. If you have a bunch of stained clothing don't use dish soap and then wash it all at the same time. Dish soap is different than detergent and can damage a washer if too much of it is used
Thank You for the GREAT video, I really appreciate it.
I'm most impressed that you can wear such nice clothes and remove stains at the same time. (Ah c'mon, I know a bunch of you out there are thinking the exact same thing!) Being dyslexic and having near zero depth perception I'm relegated to wearing grunge wear during any procedures that could possible go wrong (which unfortunately includes eating.) Also thanks for being the kind of person who likely disposes of really nice clothing you no longer deem acceptable at your local thrift. It's from people like you that I get my best wardrobe pieces!
Highly entertaining and enjoyable. Have a lovely day!
Very informative video. It would be helpful if you guys could make a video about products to use from laundry to bathing. Such as what shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc to use that is both environmentally friendly and good for your body, and where to buy them. Also is there a place where you can buy SPC in bulk that is not contained in plastic containers? As I try to avoid plastics.
Hi, I am a hairstylist and my favorite brand of hair products is definitely from Aveda. All natural and powerful moisturizing ingredients with great smell from essential oils. They also carry a face line and body soap and body moisturizer. I worked with other different professional brands and it remains my favorite.
Once again...continued value. Excellent channel nice video
Thank you for sharing your knowledge to the world. Blessings
Great video. The best summarized video I have seen about stains and removal agents and techniques. I am going to suscribe.
Great video Gentlemen's Gazette! I do have one question though. At 6:27 , are both the Liquid and the granules SPC? If so, what brand would you recommend? And typically, where would I find these products?
Fountain pen ink does not contain oil. It's water, inorganic dye or pigment, and flow improvers. Getting it out depends on if it also has permanency agents, such as iron or chemicals that bond the pigment to cellulose. So some inks will come out of wool, but not cotton, since wool has no cellulose content. Pigmented inks embed particles in the fibers, and can be hard to remove as well. They also don't bleach. Standard dye inks can usually be removed from any fiber since the dyes are water soluble, and respond to bleaching.
Thanks for the additional information. What do you recommend?
Such an amazing video. I love to watch all your video. Your videos are super amazing and informative. Keep posting more!
You guys rock. Thank you for your knowledge

Great video Preston! This was helpful info.
Thank you, guys! I work as a barista, and stains are a part of everyday life for me. You can be splashed with steamed milk, espresso, brewed coffee, tea, refresher bases, mocha sauce, and a myriad of different syrups. Thankfully, most of these blotches and stains end up on my apron. This is much appreciated :).

@@bullenharben9905 lol
When I’m at work and people come by with only stains looking for a Tide Pen (or I get a diff on my patent leather pumps), I pump out some Purell on the stain, rub it with tissue, and it comes right off.
I used Puracy stain remover for a long time & it's good ! But , then, a You Tuber (Jennifer Cook) said Dreft baby detergent makes an excellent stain remover. I tried it & she's right. It makes sense. Babies create all sorts of stains.
Soo thorough, thank you. 🥰🥰
I was most amazed that the big, bad ink stain was actually removable! Also, if I understand you correctly, even when you've washed the item and some or all of the stain remains, it's still possible to keep trying. I've always heard that if you wash it, that might set the stain. Thank you for these informative and helpful videos!
If you wash in hot water it will set the stain, and/or if you put it in the dryer. Then the stain is baked in.
Very imformative,thank you for info.!
Great tips! This is a keeper!
Can you tell me what you did pls I don’t want to watch the whole video
Very helpful and informative. 100%

A good video Preston Thank you
I'll definitely be trying these out next time i need to do this again. which happens all the time on the road traveling.

A good video to bookmark and come back to

How long is too long to be able to effectively get rid of stains? I have some work shirts which could do with treating, but after many attempts with the washing machine I've given up
wonderful video! Thank you!!!
Great video about removing. Just found it. Wonder if there is anything for removing the turmeric stains from clothes
Felsnaptha is a bar laundry soap. Excellent for oil stains. Found in laundry section of Walmart and even some grocery stores. Also Unicorn Fiber brand Power Scour ( Power scour strongest but they also have basic gentle fiber wash and fiber conditioner)is liquid enzymatic low temp wash and stain treatment for wools for also for most fabrics. Got grimy wool tshirt clean by soaking overnight in Power Scour then washed. As professional handspinner I use Unicorn fiber brand a lot. Also Felsnaptha is great and cheap. I think about $1.
Also, wearing an undershirt will go a long way to keep garments less stained. This is the vintage way.
Does this work on food grease stains that has already set in and tried to be treated already?
Magnificent Video Thank you much ✨
Thank you for making this awesome video
one can always rely on Raphael & Preston for great content
What brand of stain cleaner was that and where do you buy it???? Also what stores carry sodium perchlorate? Wal-Mart?

Dawn dish detergent does great for grease stains and washing in general.

A touch of Dawn dishwashing detergent over the stain does wonders. "FOLEX" for carpet stains is outstanding.

Fountain pen ink does not contain oil.
For sweat stains in white shirts is good to use clear down dish soap peroxide and some white vinegar let it sit overnight and the stains will be gone 😊

Hi any tips how to remove colored stains (particularly blue) from white printed polyester shirt?
My Grandfather, may his soul rest in peace, was a rather snazzy mechanic.
He would always get oil stains on his hands, but he solved this problem with one solution: Petrol.
He taught me that petrol almost completely dissolves inorganic oils, but he never used it on his clothes (since he liked his clothes smelling nice).
Instead he used, you guessed it, water & White vinegar.
So thank you Gentleman's Gazette for giving me that nostalgia.
Thanks a lot man, you rock!!
great video. in addition to this, i'd like to say that oily stains such as from food disappear like a charm with some dish washing soap directly on the stain and baking soda on top. let it sit for a bit and then just toss it in the washer. saved a couple a pair of jeans this way.
@@judieapia9693 I assume you figured out by now since your question was a year ago, but for bleach spots you're basically out of luck- it's not a stain, the bleach just removed the color from those spots. I've ruined plenty-a-items with some accidental bleach dribble 😖
For tough stains that prove to be quite challenging, doing a 10 to 20 min soak in hydrogen peroxide works wonders on both organic and inorganic stains with or without oil in the stain.
This is a good point, Ron. Like the vid stated, stains will inevitably happen--wore my brand new W'HITE JEANS to work recently, left them on when I went to my son's little league game, as fate/luck would have it, got "picked" to guest coach, then it rained, turned the dirt on the field to soup! the kids were standing/jumping on the bench with the wet clay in their cleats, which I ended up sitting in then getting hand prints on my legs--I applied liquid detergent and spray-on stain remover, soaked the Jeans for several hours, re-applied the detergent and washed as normal--stains almost came out completely with soaking
