Well we made the impossible possible with that easy homemade vinegar and water mixture (and a little help from your household iron). Lets keep that ball rolling with our two newest videos; Remove Coffee Stains Easily and Remove Old Stains! Have an old stain youve been meaning to get out? In this episode, well show you how to get rid of that stain with just hydrogen peroxide and be sure its the kind in a dark bottle since the dark bottle helps preserve it, and an old toothbrush! Lets get to it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj4rjxckspU Put some hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle. Then, spray the stained area and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. After youve let it sit, grab your old toothbrush and scrub the area. Repeat, if necessary. Once the stain has disappeared, vacuum the area to remove any loose debris. That wasnt too hard! Next up, removing that old coffee stain which can be nearly as difficult as that wine stain mentioned earlier. If youre watching this video, that means youve clumsily just spilled your coffee, like I just did. Heres a quick list of the things youll need:
- Towels
- Warm, and cold water
- Lemon juice
- Dish soap
- Clean sponge
Alright, lets get to it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDMsd6kSUtY First, youll want to dab as much of the coffee as possible with a towel. Be sure to dab the coffee vs scrubbing. Also, be sure to use a clean side of the towel so you dont spread the stain. Go ahead and pause the video, Ill wait while you dab. Now, grab a cup of cold water, and pour directly on the stain. Continue to dab with a new towel and repeat until the stain wont come out. Next, take 2 cups of warm water, and mix in ¼ cup of lemon juice, and splash of dish soap. Take your clean sponge and dip it there, and squeeze until the sponge is just damp. Starting from the outside and working your way in, rub in a circular motion. Then, rinse with cold water. With a dry towel, remove any of the leftover mixture by placing the towel over the area, and firmly pressing down to remove any liquids. If the stain still shows up, repeat. Otherwise, youre done! And YOU thought youd have to live with that stain. Now to make another pot of coffee! Want more tips for apartment living?
