Nicotine from smoking...?
Question:I have several white tshirts, folded on a shelf, that are stained with nicotine from smoking in the room. How do I remove the stains?
Answers:
To whiten whites:
Add one cup of Hydrogen Peroxide to a load of whites and wash as normal.
For items already yellowing mix a quarter cup of Cascade in a bucket of hot, hot water soak the garments in the mixture to whiten whites.
Try not to over dry white items. Use a lower temperature setting as the higher settings can yellow whites.
Some liquid fabric softeners can also cause yellowing in white fabrics if not rinsed out well.
Have a nice day!
wash them in the sink and add a little bit of bleach
A little simple green in your washer will take the stains out, it smells really good. Buy it at your hardware store.
The Discovery Channel Mythbusters used vodka to get out smoke. Did a whole science experiment thing on a couple of shirts that they stunk up pretty bad. Might help?
God Bless
Since the T-shirt is white, you can
1. Throw it into a pail of water with a cap full of bleach poured into it and soak it overnight.
2. Alternatively, throw it into swimming pool (chorine in it will bleach it too) and soak it for 3 days.
3. Throw it into a pail of water with lots of baking soda on poured into it. And rub toothpaste on the stain.
4. Use any stain removing detergent available in the supermarket to do it.
5. Ask your local laundry shop to fix it for u.
6. It's shopping time. It means you have an excuse to buy new clothes.
7. Dye your white T-shirts to yellow, black or orange.
8. Throw it into the pail, filled with water, squeeze some of the colorless toilet bowl solution into it and after an hour rinse it and it should be clean.
9. Dab the portions of the stain areas with liquid laundry detergent (dynamo brand) , leave it overnight. Throw it into the washing machine and wash the next day.
10. Tell all your friends that your birthday is coming and you really like white T-shirts.
