A RESELLER has given an insight into how they bag their bargains.
They said they learned the laundry tip from an elderly lady.
Editor Cat5edope posted the cleaning advice on the social media platform.
“Tip for removing stains [from a] clothing retailer,” they said.
“I generally try to avoid buying items with stains, but sometimes I miss things.
“A lady told me about a laundry trick that worked really well for me in removing stains to restore value.”
TRICK OF THE TRADE
The Redditor explained their method, which they said always works.
“Mix Borax Washing Soda Oxiclean laundry detergent in a bucket or washing machine with hot water and let stained clothes soak overnight.
They added that it’s a “100% success rate with my items so far.”
“And the amount of trash that comes out of these clothes and into the water is disgusting.
“I hope this can help someone out there.”
CROWD REACTION
Several Redditors weighed in on the “old lady” laundry hack in the comments section.
“Is there any discoloration or difference in feel?” one asked.
“Before washing, after getting wet, it feels strange, almost slimy, after washing, everything I made looks like normal clothes,” they responded.
“No bleaching yet, I made a few items in May, maybe seven.”
One Redditor even chimed in to give her own laundry advice.
They were very familiar with cleaning stains from second-hand items.
“A woman who ran a children’s resale store told me her secret for removing stains,” they said.
“You add a cup of powdered dishwasher detergent and a cup of Clorox or other oxygenating powdered bleach to a bucket of hot water or a small load in the washing machine.
“You can put several stained or dirty items of clothing.
“Leave it to soak overnight and then wash as normal.
“I’ve been using this method on my children’s clothes for years,” the father added.
Tip for removing yellow sweat stains
Yellow spots underarms affect everyone, whether people admit it or not. But there is help available. To remove yellow stains from clothes, experts recommend the following methods:
- Baking soda paste: Professionals in The Laundry Café I recommend mixing a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide with a tablespoon of salt and ½ cup of baking soda. Apply directly to the stain with a toothbrush, scrub and let the mixture sit for at least an hour and then wash as normal.
- Oxygen Bleach: This method is equally useful for removing yellow stains. Mix one part oxygen bleach with one part ammonia in a non-metallic bowl. Wear gloves during this application. Rub it into the fabric with a toothbrush and let the solution sit for at least ten minutes before washing normally.
- Stain remover or detergent: Stains on collars can be difficult to remove, like underarm stains. Therefore, pre-treat the area using a stain remover or solvent-based detergent. Apply the product to the collar with a toothbrush and let it sit for at least ten minutes before washing.
