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.

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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”

    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.

    Thank you for making this post. I buy a lot of my clothes at thrift shops, and they will invariably come with a stain or two. Most are easy to get out, but there are a few that are more than a little stubborn. We have a type of clay-based mud here that is a dark charcoal color. If it gets on white fabric, it has been common to just throw it out, because it is impossible to get out. I bought a white cotton polo shirt that looked brand new at a thrift shop a couple of weeks ago. As I was doing laundry, I noticed that this shirt had this clay mud splashed on the back of it, like the previous owner ride their bike through a puddle of that mud. It took just one time through the wash following your instructions, and there is no trace of that mud on my shirt anymore. I have adopted your strategies for my other stain problems with similar success. Thanks for the tips

    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.)

    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.

    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.

This is much appreciated :).

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.

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.

    I spotted the Laundress products. I recently bought some for my sweaters and really like them except they are heavily scented. The scent wears off little by little though, so I'll still use them. I was looking at their stain removal brush and now I think I will buy one. I also saw Laundry Evangelist, so I am going to check that out. Quite a while ago, I saw a video that said to remove old oil stains, you should "reactivate" them, i.e. apply new oil to the old stain, and then treat the stain. I tried that and it didn't work, but maybe it also had to do with not using the bleach alternative. I have heavily bleached some of my white clothes, curtains and other items, but now I will try it your way... except I have an old Robert Maplethorpe T-shirt that has gotten really yellow, and I think I will be using hydrogen peroxide and Oxiclean to try to restore the whiteness. I like the clarity of your instructions and the demonstrations. As someone else commented, it would have been nice to see the final laundered and dry clothing with the stains removed. Thanks for these tips.
