Great video! If I could add on to the toothbrush technique please...if you turn the garment inside out, you are doing 2 things, You are actually pushing the stain out of the shirt instead of deeper into the shirt.And you are not disturbing the fibers on the outside of the shirt so that it can appear a little worn in that area after cleanup.😊 Take care
Hello! Yes,loving all this videos and such nice participants dinamic. About the inside out It's like turning upside-down rugs and stepping on them to loosen all the dirt as a first step to their cleaning.
I was fortunate enough to have a very frugal and intelligent, Scottish grandmother. Frugal and savvy. She taught me several of the same techniques, as well as, lemon juice and sunshine to bleach stains on some items-especially table linens, cloth napkins etc. She also would purposely stain her white lingerie with tea leaves to tint them to the "nude" color she wanted when the ones she wanted were difficult to find. You made me laugh this morning, protein stains on bedsheets, lol! You're awesome.
@@Boop-beep-bap 😃 She was born the same year the Titanic sunk. So, that tells you I am O-L-D. But, the wisdom and common sense of that generation was unparalleled in most cases.
I once got a a few spots of bleach on my black trousers while cleaning the bathroom. They were new. Why I wore them to clean the bathroom, we'll never know! But I took them off, laid the trousers flat in the bathtub and trickled more bleach over to form abstract lines. Once I laundered them, I had patterned trousers - very Jackson Pollock. Funnily enough, people used to compliment and ask where I got them :) Generally though, I'm a clumsy clot.
Many, many times I have found myself in a restaurant bathroom, bent over the sink, flushing my stained shirt with water! It really helps save your clothing to swallow your pride and tackle the stain right away. I find wearing a wet shirt is less embarrassing than wearing a stained one. The water eventually dries. 😅
I had to stop the video after the ‘grandpa came back from the war’ part because I was laughing so hard! Only you can mix stain removal and hilarity! I appreciate you so much! ❤
Laughing here - I did ask for a stain removal technique video just a while ago in a comment on a video from 1 year ago (Use your nice things.) And here it is! Thank you from a somewhat distracted and messy person 🥰
Rajiv…thank you! You have NO IDEA how much I needed this lesson! I am a Messy Marvin! I don’t think I can eat a meal or even brush my teeth without wearing it.
I was also taught by a dry cleaner you can stretch the stained area over a bowl or jar, rubber band it off and do the soaping, tamping, rinsing until clean. Really works!
In chile we use sodium bicarbonate in oil stains right away and let it dry. Alternatively if you’re out in a restaurant you can also request a bit of sparkling water to wet the stain, and add salt on it, again let it dry and wash at home. Hope that helps! :)
Hi Rajiv, here in Mexico we have a special type of soup called Zote. You would love it. We use it for all whites, shoes and even some colored clothing. Instead of that dish soap, I use Zote for everything. I always keep a bar at home. It became so popular, people in Corean started to import to their country. The also use it for laundry but they use it for skin bleaching. It is safe to use as body soap (though I'm not particularly a fan of that use). I hope you can one day get your hand in one and try it. I would love your opinion
This is exactly why I have a gorgeous collection of white button down shirts that just hang in my closet; the minute I wear one, I just know I’m too clumsy and will end up with a stain …..and until today, didn’t have the slightest clue how to treat those stains. Thank you for this!
I was about to write you asking for this! Bam!! Here it is. 🌟 Can set-in stains be removed? Just more of this technique? Just curious. BTW - You have an old soul, your talents and appreciate for things antiquated and basic are refreshing. Keep them coming!! ❤ 🌹
Thank you for another helpful video, Rajiv. I was feeling really ground down by a tough work week and family stuff, but your videos always help me to aspire to take life a little slower and to be more mindful and observant of little things.
Dear Rajiv, Good morning. What a great way to start the weekend by watching your video🤣❤. That's wonderful and thank you. One of my good family friend runs a hotel now and had a dry cleaning business once. His white shirt will be effing awesome, always crisp and pure white. I asked him how the hell he keeps it like that. He told me that I can use scotch guard for anything except silk. He told me to use it before the first use by spraying it inside and outside and let it dry. He told me that it forms a very thin layer between the fabric and the dirt/stain. When you get stain or dirt, it just washes away. He told me I can use for whites, leather, suede, cotton, linen but will spoil the silk! People would bring white wedding gowns with some stains to him for cleaning. He would charge hefty! They would ask "Why are you charging this high?" He would reply "If I screw your wedding gown, you will sue me". I use it for whites as I have lots in tops, dresses, midi, maxi. If you haven't tried it, try and let us know.
Up until recently Scotchguard contained PFAS (and the new ingredients may prove to be just as problematic in time) so personally I'm unsure white shirts are worth putting that many forever chemicals in/on your body.
Love this! Here’s a tip for ballpoint pen. Spray the mark with hairspray. It instantly disappears! I keep a travel-sized bottle on hand for this reason alone. I’ve done this for years and it works every time.
I completely agree with the “I’m going to get you out” attitude. I have a very expensive raw silk dress that I have gotten THE WORST spills on: latex paint ALL OVER. I burnt the back standing too near the fireplace. It took many tries for each one…but…I eventually was able to get it all out. I’m still amazed to be honest…but the attitude and persistence works 😍
me thinks it's about time we floated a petition to remake life of Pi with Rajiv as the lead . if this guy can make stain removal interesting I wonder how much magic he would ve infused into the movie .
Hi Rajiv, the wall behind you is so beautiful that it distracted me from your stains. I found myself wanting to move the flowers to the left and the chair to the right. LOL. Love your style.
I love that tulip arrangement, you have a good eye for balance. That would be correct. Right now he is very busy and its perfectly alright. No pressure remain calm. 😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much good showing us the things that matter in life. I didn’t grow up with my mom and it’s been a lot of learning as an adult, I’m also really clumsy, especially when I eat soup and the grease stains always get me. Hopefully I could still salvage the older grease stains I have on a few sweaters 😖
Rajiv approach to stain removal is spot on! Keeping calm and confident while treating stains can make all the difference. Who knew dealing with spills could be so empowering? 💪👕
Once I bought a really expensive skirt. I fell in love with it in the shop and I had never had anything expensive before. Always buy from charity shops etc. The first time I wore the skirt I sat in chewing gum which spread around as it was a hot day. I ruined the skirt trying to remove it. 😢😢😢
I love how everything you do is with an intention. I enjoy watching your videos. One trick I learned from my parents is to cover the oil stain with a layer of salt and let it sit with salt on it, the longer it sits the better. Then wash it regularly, the oil will stain will come out.
So very helpful! Thank you!🙏 The corn starch and alcohol and of course the tapping are great tips, I haven’t really tried out yet. What my granny, ma and myself used a lot is gall soap (not quite vegan but as I still have a piece I keep using it to the end😅)
I have to thank u! My husband splattered Balsamico over his white Shirt and considered it ruined. I tried your method and it turned out spotless. He is as excited as me. Sometimes little things have Deep impact. Love your Videos and style. Greetings from Switzerland Sabine
Thank you so much Rajiv! Lots of blessings. I am originally from Azerbaijan and whenever we have a greasy stain in restaurant or while visiting someone's house, we quickly put salt on it to absorb the oil. I will also remember to experiment with starch but it is not available in restaurants, so will mix and match.
Rajiv. This is just what I needed. Was working in the kitchen. Got nicked unawares, picked up my white jeans. Now I can get the blood off the white pants😢
Thank you so much for this video, Rajiv. I put these methods in application and they work amazingly! There is one stain that I can’t seem to get rid of though- it is SUNSCREEN ON WHITE SHIRTS. 😢 I have tried dish soap mixed with water and lemon juice, followed but washing machine and drying out in direct sunlight. My shirts look better but not perfect. If anyone has an efficient method for getting rid of these awful yellow stains, I would happily take it. Giving up sunscreen is not an option. 😆 Thank you in advance!💖
Namaskaram Rajiv thank you very much for another wonderful educational video so pleasantly conducted. My challenges: Turmeric, plant sabs like Plantain and Aloe vera, body oils.
The little voice while removing the ketchup stain 🤣 Love ya Rajiv and love these insightful videos! This one in particular couldn't have come at a better time as I'm trying to remove a pen stain from a pair of pants.
Rajiv! Oh hi, I so enjoy your videos. I would love if you could give tips on how to use those crappy laundry machines in apartments, any tips I.e presoaking items in our tub before washing because it’s not a good washing machine and it costs $3 per load, so not cheap if you’re doing a lot of laundry. Would also love a video on how to hang pleated curtains or any curtains really…I know this is a big topic but I bet you learned so much from your mom ❤ Also, where did you get all those white trays lined with blue? I like them. Wishing you have a lovely day Rajiv!
I could only watch you go through the process of removing several stains in real time. Even though I am the original clumsy grrrrrl. Adore your sharing and devouring your advice always.
the way i was thinking of just writing to you to ask for advice on this topic. my first bottle of mrs stewart bluing also arrived in the mail last week. thanks as always, rajiv, for your wonderful videos.
I've always used this absorbing method to treat grease stains.( I used to use talc, but it's a health hazard) If you can, the sooner you apply the corn starch the better. It works a treat.
Thank you, Rajiv. Unfortunately it hasn't worked today, but I received some news the other day that no one would be ok receiving. My head is still spinning with the news that I received.
We always called my dad The Stain Master. I learned a lot from him, but nowhere near as much as this. The blotting is my new super weapon! And cornstarch. I get oil stains on my shirt all the time when I'm cooking.
Thanks so much for such a thorough, comprehensive, helpful and light-hearted video, Rajiv! Now I know everything I did wrong, every, time. And what not to do next time!
Thank You for this helpful information! My sister has always been the Queen of stain removal! I have become better at it over the years! I keep a certain dish soap in my laundry closet along with a toothbrush, the old towels are in the cabinet next to it. I was even able to get an old stain off of the front of my favorite sweatshirt the other day!
Yeah, I approach stains the same way I approached my printer when I had a paper due in my next class, which is to say: very quietly without any sudden movements, lol. I'm also well known among my friends for always having some type of stain removal stick in my purse (mostly because I have spilled so many drinks on myself over the years). It has mostly worked for me, but I definitely need to add to my supply cabinet.
Thank you for your suggestions and analysis of stains. Any suggestions for leather? So many people are willing to give up and discard the garment before trying. My mother always rubbed the stain with wet Ivory bar soap - no dyes or perfumes. Then, rub the fabric together. It works. I’ve removed cherry juice stains among others with this method. I’ve made holes in garments using a brush while removing stains.
Bible says you have what you say you have!! So your right about staying positive about stains or Any problem! Stay in FAITH! So say you are not clumsy, in Jesus name🙏🏻...& THANK YOU...for these tips!💛& you are an Excellent Example for my young Grandson...& so Inspiring to me!
Thank you for this video, I have always struggled with this but have gotten better taking care of my own attire. However, I'm still struggling with how to remove stains from my little kids' clothes. It's not possible to immediately tend to the stain(s) when they've made them at school, and I really don't know how to get out black Sharpie and other magic marker pens after multiple attempts of cold water and any methods I've searched for. If anyone would be so kind to share some tips for kids clothes in general, I would very much appreciate it
What great tips. If out dining, I can guarantee you that if you’ll ask for corn starch, talc or flour and put it on the spot, they will absorb the oil.. I use talc on silk and have avoided sending many, many items to the cleaners. In spite if trying everything from tea tree or eucalyptus oil, to Goo Gone, I haven’t found anything that takes out the stain from rubber bumpers, which can be gotten when loading the car. Sorry, I didn’t realize that you had also included cornstarch. Do you have any advice??
I live in a part of Jamaica that has red dirt. It's the soil that bauxite alumina is made from. I've had to throwaway quite a few favorite pieces because of my dog & this soil. Do you have a method to remove this kind of stain?
I'm clumsy as well! I usually put soap on emergency stains too. If I'm at home I'll soak it in the sink. Just dabbing on soap and water has saved many of my tshirts from tomato sauce stains etc haha I've never had a bloodstain remain after soap, a cold soak, and a cold wash.
Rajiv, how would you remove Make-up stains ? It sometimes happens, that I got a little Spot of Make-up on my Blue Jeans and when I wet the stain, it becomes white. Any tip would be highly appreciated.
When I get an oily stain on my clothes, usually when out eating, I quickly put salt on it. I press it in and keep on there as long as possible to absorb some of that oil/grease until I get home to treat it.
If it’s a washable fabric and you’re at home, Shout works wonders. Just wait about 5 to 10 min before washing. Also for an oil stain, I put baby powder on it when I get home, rub it in gently and let it sit over night, most of the oil is absorbed by the talc and the I proceed to the next step.
The biggest tip I learned is to never dry anything that may have a stain on it. The heat of the dryer will set it in and it will never come out. As long as you don’t dry it you have a chance to remove any stain. For ink pen I was taught to use hairspray. I’m guessing it’s probably because it’s got a lot of alcohol in it. My favorite stain busters are Zote laundry bar for most things and Skout’s Honor pet stain remover.
i got a chair at auction. it's a heavy natural colored twill and had a few yellow stains that were barely visible but it had old lady stink. i've used an entire bottle of Folex, sprayed it with peroxide and used the bissel furniture cleaner machine with its own product and everytime i clean it (so far 6 times) more weird yellow stains appear when it's dry. I am at the end of my tether. The smell is gone though.
Reminds me of when we were at a wedding reception and I spilled red wine on my husband's beige linen suit jacket. Yep, you're welcome. I took it to the bathroom and applied Shout. We stopped at the drug store and I bought a bottle of club soda. Then right there in the middle of the parking lot I let that jacket have a good dose. The stain did come out. I will forever hear you say don't rub, tap.
There is a wonderful product called WineOff. My husband consistently spills wine, so I bring a little spray bottle of WineOff as hostess/host gifts to all my friends to rescue their tablecloths. I have a LARGE bottle at home. 🍷

Stain removal is literally one of my mini passions in life

It really helps save your clothing to swallow your pride and tackle the stain right away. I find wearing a wet shirt is less embarrassing than wearing a stained one. The water eventually dries. 😅
What would we all do without Rajiv in our lives to teach us things.
You're right, he is amazing!

I get excited by people getting excited for these videos!
I was also taught by a dry cleaner you can stretch the stained area over a bowl or jar, rubber band it off and do the soaping, tamping, rinsing until clean. Really works!
Imagine applying these concepts of “perseverance, care, value” to our cultural stains. Rajiv you rock!🦋
Way to kill the vibe with ridiculous virtue signaling

Dear Rajiv, Good morning. What a great way to start the weekend by watching your video🤣❤.
That's wonderful and thank you. One of my good family friend runs a hotel now and had a dry cleaning business once. His white shirt will be effing awesome, always crisp and pure white.
I asked him how the hell he keeps it like that. He told me that I can use scotch guard for anything except silk. He told me to use it before the first use by spraying it inside and outside and let it dry. He told me that it forms a very thin layer between the fabric and the dirt/stain. When you get stain or dirt, it just washes away.

What kind of hairspray?
How???
I’ve done the same. It works like magic!
I completely agree with the “I’m going to get you out” attitude. I have a very expensive raw silk dress that I have gotten THE WORST spills on: latex paint ALL OVER. I burnt the back standing too near the fireplace. It took many tries for each one…but…I eventually was able to get it all out. I’m still amazed to be honest…but the attitude and persistence works 😍
Good to know! I love raw silk! It’s one of my favorite fabrics, although I don’t seem to run into it very often.
Wearing WHITE while teaching stain removal was a great choice. Adds to pursuasion and credibility.😊
I am clumsy too! I wear an apron at home. Dish soap and hydrogen peroxide help with blood stains.

Thank you for this video, I have always struggled with this but have gotten better taking care of my own attire. However, I'm still struggling with how to remove stains from my little kids' clothes. It's not possible to immediately tend to the stain(s) when they've made them at school, and I really don't know how to get out black Sharpie and other magic marker pens after multiple attempts of cold water and any methods I've searched for. If anyone would be so kind to share some tips for kids clothes in general, I would very much appreciate it
What great tips. If out dining, I can guarantee you that if you’ll ask for corn starch, talc or flour and put it on the spot, they will absorb the oil.. I use talc on silk and have avoided sending many, many items to the cleaners.
In spite if trying everything from tea tree or eucalyptus oil, to Goo Gone, I haven’t found anything that takes out the stain from rubber bumpers, which can be gotten when loading the car.
Sorry, I didn’t realize that you had also included cornstarch.
Do you have any advice??
Wow ❤
I live in a part of Jamaica that has red dirt. It's the soil that bauxite alumina is made from. I've had to throwaway quite a few favorite pieces because of my dog & this soil. Do you have a method to remove this kind of stain?
Gramma’s liquid stain remover. Even gets curry out! The best!
Thank you, brother
I'm clumsy as well! I usually put soap on emergency stains too. If I'm at home I'll soak it in the sink. Just dabbing on soap and water has saved many of my tshirts from tomato sauce stains etc haha
I've never had a bloodstain remain after soap, a cold soak, and a cold wash.
すばらしい Vlog ❤
Thank You TIPS!!! ❤💥
Great tips
Rajiv, how would you remove Make-up stains ? It sometimes happens, that I got a little Spot of Make-up on my Blue Jeans and when I wet the stain, it becomes white. Any tip would be highly appreciated.
Is Rajiv the new Martha Stewart? This is so relaxing
When I get an oily stain on my clothes, usually when out eating, I quickly put salt on it. I press it in and keep on there as long as possible to absorb some of that oil/grease until I get home to treat it.
If it’s a washable fabric and you’re at home, Shout works wonders. Just wait about 5 to 10 min before washing. Also for an oil stain, I put baby powder on it when I get home, rub it in gently and let it sit over night, most of the oil is absorbed by the talc and the I proceed to the next step.
I currently have a stain that I missed before washing and drying my favorite cotton tee shirt. I don't know what caused the stain. Any thoughts?
The biggest tip I learned is to never dry anything that may have a stain on it. The heat of the dryer will set it in and it will never come out. As long as you don’t dry it you have a chance to remove any stain.
For ink pen I was taught to use hairspray. I’m guessing it’s probably because it’s got a lot of alcohol in it.
My favorite stain busters are Zote laundry bar for most things and Skout’s Honor pet stain remover.
I am pretty good at removing stains but dry erase marker is next to impossible to remove. Any suggestions?
Yellow armpit stains? What's best?
hahaha the old timey war reference is perfect.
for a really tough greese stain I put dish soap and sprinkled some baking soda and ran it through the machine and it came off no problem
Hi Rajiv 👋, please tell us why some of the dish soaps have a hint of color, eg.blue, etc.?
❤ can you show how to remove coffee/ tea stains from china cups? Thx!
Bleach.
Bicarbonate and a sponge works without resorting to bleach. If it's not enough, then use bleach, but usually, with patience, it works.
Put baking soda on a damp cloth and wipe. Works like a charm.
@@rajivsurendra just straight? Soak?? Thx!
@@maureenloper589 thanks 😊
i got a chair at auction. it's a heavy natural colored twill and had a few yellow stains that were barely visible but it had old lady stink. i've used an entire bottle of Folex, sprayed it with peroxide and used the bissel furniture cleaner machine with its own product and everytime i clean it (so far 6 times)
more weird yellow stains appear when it's dry. I am at the end of my tether. The smell is gone though.
Probably coming from underneath the fabric.
Reminds me of when we were at a wedding reception and I spilled red wine on my husband's beige linen suit jacket. Yep, you're welcome. I took it to the bathroom and applied Shout. We stopped at the drug store and I bought a bottle of club soda. Then right there in the middle of the parking lot I let that jacket have a good dose. The stain did come out. I will forever hear you say don't rub, tap.
There is a wonderful product called WineOff. My husband consistently spills wine, so I bring a little spray bottle of WineOff as hostess/host gifts to all my friends to rescue their tablecloths. I have a LARGE bottle at home. 🍷
I have (mysterious) yellow stains on my Nikes that are made out of a nylon tent material. How can I get these stains off?
