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.
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.
What could remove yellow big stains on my sons shirt there blue and another white shirt I seem to have fived that one but the other blue shirts are bad with yellow in middle and on the neck
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.
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”
@@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?
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 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!
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.)
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 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!
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!
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.
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.
I'm crying I can't watch the rest of the video🤣 I was going to leave when I saw the guy trying to clean out the ink. I'm not gonna stay man so they went and bought a new shirt the end. Keep the other one for remembrance.
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.
Thank you so much. My white shirt is sooked with black pants without thinking the black colour will come out . My mom buys for me she is more than 7000 miles away so it is so special shirt for me. I want to try your methods and let me see thanks for sharing.
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 :).
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.
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 😖

I love your channel! I discovered it in July/August of 2018, and literally didn’t sleep the day I discovered your channel just to watch it. Sven has a talent for dressing.
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! Hanging it out in the Sun 🌞 after gently washing it & now, decades later, it's still got a beautiful place in my wardrobe. Sometimes "local experts" are simply wrong.
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
This is a great video that helped me get some stains out today. But what is the ideal way to revive tinged whites? Yellowing on a dress shirts is what I'm trying to aid. Thanks!
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.
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.
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.
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've used peroxide, 1:1 mixture of vinegar & water, and "Oxi Clean for Whites" for stains...blood stains on white cotton linen that had sat for maybe 2 months....I thought it would never come out...but it did! I was amazed. I've also heard "meat tenderizer" (without seasonings) works well for blood stains.
I was watching Lord Peter Wimsey with Edward Petherbridge and somehow got to this channel, Preston you look like you would fit right in with men of that elegant era. You have great address. :)
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
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
Fabulous video. Sweat stains are my biggest problem but most of my shirts are not white. Some are strong colours. Can I still use the bleach alternative or will that ‘bleach’ the colour from the garments? Thanks.
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 😊
Hello. As you ask for alternatives we use. For ink stains I soak the stain in milk for at least an hour. Depending on how big the stain is, you might need to remove the remaining milk and poor clean one. Once the stain has disappeared I was as normal. Thanks
What about denim dye that got on a cotton polo while washing together? I have a pair of dark denim and an orange polo that has some mild blue spots after washing. I didn't notice the spots and also dried the shirt, only to notice the spots after hanging the shirt.
I have questions will any of these products work on color clothes or colored clothes mixed with white ? Is the brush safe for apartments or will it leave it fuzzy looking? What kind of a cloth is best to use for dabbing? Do any of these make a difference if the stain is not fresh or has been prewash?
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?
I got this really nice white sweatshirt. I’m mad because I drank too much and threw up on it. No matter how much I wash that sweatshirt the stain will never come out. I will try this out
I C cascade, 1 C Clorox II, 1 C Washing Soda in a 5 gallon bucket w/ the hottest water you can get. Let it soak for a week. Wring out, and then wash. Should be good to go.
Good morning. Great presentation as always. I have found ammonia to remove fountain pen ink. Just be careful as can remove color. I treat with 1:10 diluted, then put the single garment in the wash using fast wash cycle with ammonia. After which, ready to wash with the others. I use a Purex Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar for stains usually first, finding removes most, then go to other methods. I go by the idea to go from least drastic to most drastic.
Please help what would you use on very old Jackect the outside imatatation heather and inside white beisge looks sheep wool can't put washing machine will damage it sentimental value late father laws given my son it's good condition other wise how do I clean it plse thankyou
I have a solution for what you said around 1 minute in. Just don't wear your "nice" clothes at home. I usually go with an inexpensive t-shirt paired with old jeans when I'm not at work. When I'm at work I avoid all types of food that could stain my clothes. I never get any stains besides from sweat which is easily removed with bile soap : - ) I also don't drive anywhere so a tire change would never happen me : - P Just be more careful.
Literally, when you dress up you will find so many people behaviours utterly annoying. For me that's going on public transport and everyone puts their dirty shoes on seats; bringing their bikes on trains and spreading dirt on the sides, so if you rest your shoulder on the wall you'll get some dirt. People who walk right up to you eating with their mouths open or eating messy food while moving; people who purposefully walk into liquids on the ground splashing dirt around. People who walk into you, scraping your garments; people who eat and somehow manage to get it on their chair Literally countless reasons for why I hate the average person in the UK. Too many people are far too inconsiderate and it makes dressing up almost a chore because of other people clumsyness. I spoke with my sister and she finds a lot of women don't wash their hands even after going to the toilet. Gross!
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.

Hanging it out in the Sun 🌞 after gently washing it & now, decades later, it's still got a beautiful place in my wardrobe. Sometimes "local experts" are simply wrong.
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
This is a great video that helped me get some stains out today. But what is the ideal way to revive tinged whites? Yellowing on a dress shirts is what I'm trying to aid. Thanks!
Very nice! That is very similar to my own sweat stain removal method! Great work!
I use Zote and it takes care of most stains. I'm going to try the vinegar on the next obviously oily stain. Thank you!
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.
Very informative. I also appreciate the explanation of the harmonic aspect of the outfit
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.

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.
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've used peroxide, 1:1 mixture of vinegar & water, and "Oxi Clean for Whites" for stains...blood stains on white cotton linen that had sat for maybe 2 months....I thought it would never come out...but it did! I was amazed. I've also heard "meat tenderizer" (without seasonings) works well for blood stains.
...And I like the "Cary Grant" look...you look very nice! Wish more men took pride in their appearance and dressed with some class!
one can always rely on Raphael & Preston for great content
Many thanks for this enlightening information on stains removals
These sorts of videos should be gathered together under the title "The Valet's Gazette"
I didn't know the lead singer of Weezer knew so much about getting staims out..but glad he does. Very helpful!
What brand of stain cleaner was that and where do you buy it???? Also what stores carry sodium perchlorate? Wal-Mart?
I was watching Lord Peter Wimsey with Edward Petherbridge and somehow got to this channel, Preston you look like you would fit right in with men of that elegant era. You have great address. :)
Dawn dish detergent does great for grease stains and washing in general.
This guy should be a Hollywood actor... Great tips
Does this work on food grease stains that has already set in and tried to be treated already?
Does this work for blood? And would I still use hot water? I've always heard you should never use hot water on blood?
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
BNSF Matt w what stain remover did you use?
@@forever000 shout stain spray
Can one over apply Hydrogen peroxide? how does one kow its enough not too much?
A man’s man, I love it!
This guys gives this humanoid android vibe! You feel like his face is gonna open and shape a canon and just obliterate our a$$!
ZAPHYROS im not sure what type of video’s you watch or how you can imagine that but ok boomer
Literally sounds like Bryan Dechart
He makes me think metrosexual or tax accountant
Tamaki Amajiki Ok Xoomer or you’re probably a Zoomer
I would love that 🤠
Great video. The best summarized video I have seen about stains and removal agents and techniques. I am going to suscribe.
During the sweat stain section, "stain solution" and "soap flakes" were mentioned, but not explained. What are they and where does one get them?
You can buy a laundry soap bar at the grocery store and then shave it with a vegetable peeler
Great video about removing. Just found it. Wonder if there is anything for removing the turmeric stains from clothes
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
I'm a girl, and I love this channel.
You saved my jacket! Thanks, Gentleman’s Gazette.
Can you tell what you did pls I don’t feel like watching the whole video😂
Fabulous video. Sweat stains are my biggest problem but most of my shirts are not white. Some are strong colours. Can I still use the bleach alternative or will that ‘bleach’ the colour from the garments? Thanks.
Hi any tips how to remove colored stains (particularly blue) from white printed polyester shirt?
You saved my clothes handsome boy thank you
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 😊
Hello. As you ask for alternatives we use. For ink stains I soak the stain in milk for at least an hour. Depending on how big the stain is, you might need to remove the remaining milk and poor clean one. Once the stain has disappeared I was as normal. Thanks
Hi, thanks for your helpful tips.
Do you have a method to remove red oxide primer paint off cotton clothes?
I wanna know too
I used Non-organic stain formula ,it's is awesome .
Thank you so much ❤️ u saved my favourite shirt thank you 🙏🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Mean Green is extremely effective on oil type stains. It should help with the ink stain.
Fountain pen ink does not contain oil.
Instead of the stain brush, can you use an old toothbrush?
For lipstick, would makeup remover work?
What about denim dye that got on a cotton polo while washing together? I have a pair of dark denim and an orange polo that has some mild blue spots after washing. I didn't notice the spots and also dried the shirt, only to notice the spots after hanging the shirt.
For oily stains I prefer Dawn Dish washing liquid let sit for a few days. Oily tomato sauce stains are the hardest to get out
This is a great video! I'm going to use this when it comes to washing a bunch of White tops I have :)
I have returned here many times, thank you so much for the awesome video. I still have to practice my methods!
I also share this video with all of my friends and loved ones that ask about stain removal
He looks like a cat person model from the 80s
edit: this is not meant in a bad way whatsoever 😊

Ok

Thank you for sharing your knowledge to the world. Blessings
Once again...continued value. Excellent channel nice video
I have questions will any of these products work on color clothes or colored clothes mixed with white ?
Is the brush safe for apartments or will it leave it fuzzy looking?
What kind of a cloth is best to use for dabbing?
Do any of these make a difference if the stain is not fresh or has been prewash?
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?
I got this really nice white sweatshirt. I’m mad because I drank too much and threw up on it. No matter how much I wash that sweatshirt the stain will never come out. I will try this out
I C cascade, 1 C Clorox II, 1 C Washing Soda in a 5 gallon bucket w/ the hottest water you can get. Let it soak for a week. Wring out, and then wash. Should be good to go.
Maybe I missed it, but what is the stain solution?
Nature's Miracle -- from pet food/supplies stores -- is like magic on organic stains!
This video gets an A+. Well done & succinct. I am now a subscriber ❣
Such an amazing video. I love to watch all your video. Your videos are super amazing and informative. Keep posting more!
Good morning. Great presentation as always.
I have found ammonia to remove fountain pen ink. Just be careful as can remove color. I treat with 1:10 diluted, then put the single garment in the wash using fast wash cycle with ammonia. After which, ready to wash with the others.
I use a Purex Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar for stains usually first, finding removes most, then go to other methods. I go by the idea to go from least drastic to most drastic.
Please help what would you use on very old Jackect the outside imatatation heather and inside white beisge looks sheep wool can't put washing machine will damage it sentimental value late father laws given my son it's good condition other wise how do I clean it plse thankyou
Hi thank you for the tips
By the way may I ask what is SPC?
I have a solution for what you said around 1 minute in. Just don't wear your "nice" clothes at home. I usually go with an inexpensive t-shirt paired with old jeans when I'm not at work. When I'm at work I avoid all types of food that could stain my clothes. I never get any stains besides from sweat which is easily removed with bile soap : - ) I also don't drive anywhere so a tire change would never happen me : - P Just be more careful.
Literally, when you dress up you will find so many people behaviours utterly annoying. For me that's going on public transport and everyone puts their dirty shoes on seats; bringing their bikes on trains and spreading dirt on the sides, so if you rest your shoulder on the wall you'll get some dirt. People who walk right up to you eating with their mouths open or eating messy food while moving; people who purposefully walk into liquids on the ground splashing dirt around. People who walk into you, scraping your garments; people who eat and somehow manage to get it on their chair
Literally countless reasons for why I hate the average person in the UK. Too many people are far too inconsiderate and it makes dressing up almost a chore because of other people clumsyness. I spoke with my sister and she finds a lot of women don't wash their hands even after going to the toilet. Gross!
This is a life saver!!! Thank you!!!
Preston is the Walter White of stain removal. Helpful tips as always. My tip to avoid stains, wear a jacket over your suit or shirt while eating.
Hahahaha I was thinking the same!
lolest and wont you still need to treat the jacket if you pour soup on it
Really enjoyed the video. What is a good UK version of stain solution I can buy?
When I lived in the UK for a brief time, I used the Vanish stain solution, which seemed to work quite well, is that product still available?
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.
Hello everyone here's how to remove lipstick stains from clothes:
Spritz some hairspray that contains alcohol on the stain let it sit for at least 10 minutes blot it up with damp clean cloth finally blot dry
