Staining your clothes is annoying — especially if they’re new. However, you don’t have to let it ruin your day. You can effectively remove stains before they set and ruin your clothes with these simple tips. What’s more, by using these planet-friendly stain removers, you avoid using stain removal products with harmful chemicals — you don’t even need your washer or dryer. So you’ll save time, money, and valuable resources.

For example, did you know that removing grease stains is as easy as sprinkling baby powder onto the affected area? If you let it sit overnight, it will extract the grease from the fabric. Then, you can simply wash the spot with water. It’s that easy. That’s just one of several hacks for spot-cleaning your clothes in a pinch.
