Laundry Stain Removal Guide {Free Printable}

With four kids I have seen just about every kind of stain you can imagine – and some you don’t want to. My husband also loves to engage in a lot of hands on activities like car work, house remodeling, and yard work – none of which I mind – but laundry day can be a little overwhelming with all of the stained clothes that come through. Fortunately almost all stains can be removed when you know how, so I made a handy printable Laundry Stain Removal Guide that you can print out and put in your laundry room to help you remember how to treat and remove all different kinds of stains. I get all of my laundry supplies at Sams Club because I love buying larger quantities. I have a big family and we do a lot of laundry every week. Just one reason why I get Member’s Mark® Ultimate Clean Liquid Laundry Cleaner. Not only does it deliver superior performance but it performs as well or better than the national leading brand at just a fraction of the cost. Here is the printable stain removal guide, click on it to get the PDF version you can print out.

One of my biggest helpers is the Member’s Mark Ultimate Clean Laundry Detergent. It was developed with a patented Ultimate Clean Technology that locks on tough stains and lifts them out in all temperature settings. It works great on my everyday stains and with the guide above, I haven’t found a stain that wouldn’t come out. Not only does it lifts out tough stains, but it also delivers top cleaning performance that brightens and whitens our laundry. It leaves our clothes, blankets and other items fresh and clean.

Member’s Mark Ultimate Clean Laundry Detergent is so easy to use. It has a no-mess dispenser and dosing cup that makes it easy to add the detergent to my HE washing machine or to pre-treat stains. It is safe for all washing machines and works great to deliver clean and fresh clothes and laundry. Products can only be purchased at Sam’s Club or online at samsclub.com.

Here is the breakdown on the printable guide:

CHOCOLATE:
Scrub with liquid dish soap and soak in cold water for several minutes. Launder with Member’s Mark Ultimate Clean Laundry Detergent or 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup hydrogen
peroxide. If stain remains – rewash with bleach safe for fabric.

Immediately scrub with a liquid dish soap that is meant to deal with grease. Rinse with cold water and treat with a stain remover. Launder in hot water adding 1/2 cup of baking soda. Repeat if needed.

INK (PEN):
Pre-treat with hairspray, rubbing it into the stain. You can also use rubbing alcohol. Once it has dried, you will launder in cold water and use 1/2 cup of baking soda in wash. Repeat
treatment if needed.

JUICE & WINE:
Blot with a clean dry cloth immediately. Stretch fabric over a bowl and cover stain with salt then pour boiling water carefully onto the stain. Launder using 1/2 cup of baking soda. If stain still remains, use an eye dropper to apply diluted white vinegar. Launder again.
