Here are some quick tips for removing stains at home:

Removing Coffee, Tea and Wine:

Apply mild soap and water to the spot. Rub and blot with a towel then apply ammonia and blot, vinegar and blot, add soap and water, rub and blot… and finally, apply clear water and blot.

Removing Wax:

Put a blotter or brown paper bag over the spot. Put a hot iron over the blotter. Move the iron constantly and do not let it stay in one place. Wait a few minutes until wax is absorbed into the blotter. Repeat if necessary.

Removing Ink:

Saturate the spot with hairspray. Allow it to dry. Brush lightly with a solution of water and vinegar.

Removing Chewing Gum:

Press ice cubes against spot. Wait until it becomes brittle and breaks off. Use spot remover to vanish last traces of the spot.

Removing Glue:

Saturate the spot with a cloth soaked in vinegar or alcohol.
