Salt:

Salt spilled from shaker

Blood stains

Stains can be removed by soaking the fabric for several hours in a solution of 1 teaspoon of salt and 600 mls of cold water, then rinse and apply a paste of laundry detergent containing enzymes and water. Don’t treat the stain with hot water as this will set it.

Red wine

Treat red wine stains on clothing as soon as possible. Flush with lots of cold water, then pour salt on the stain and let it stand for an hour. Scrape off the salt and rinse thoroughly.

Salt can also soak up carpet spills. Pour it over the stain – wait until it’s dry, then vacuum and clean as usual.

Candle wax or crayon

Scrape off as much as you can, then allow the stain to harden (applying ice cubes or placing the garment in the freezer will speed up the process). Place stain between layers of white paper towels and press with a warm iron, changing the paper as it becomes soiled.

Fruit juice

Rinse immediately with cold water. If the stain persists, and the fabric will stand it, spread the item over a bowl and pour boiling water over the stain. Otherwise, sponge  or soak the stain in warm water with a squirt of dishwashing liquid.
