I learned this trick from a saleswoman at Ann Taylor years ago.
It all started when I tried on a black tank dress. As I was taking it off, I noticed a deodorant stain on the front of the dress. FROM ME! I was so embarrassed because the saleswoman was right there with me, and saw the whole thing happen.
As I was apologizing and about to purchase the dress just because of the stains… she smiled and said to me, “No worries! A wet wipe will get it right out.”
These were the days before I had kids… so wet wipes? I never had wet wipes with me. But she showed me how quickly and easily it was to get a stain out with a wet wipe. ON ANY FABRIC!
So MOMS, embrace the wet wipe beyond diaper duty!
PS – The saleswoman did tell me there are 2 things a wet wipe won’t wipe out – pen stains and (eww..) blood. Let’s count on those 2 things as infrequent stains!
Oh Audrey I love this tip! It’s actually one I already know about! Wet wipes are wonderful and will take out Kool aid, chocolate and even coffee.
Great tips! Thanks for reminding me I need to refill my wet wipes in my van (where most of my mishaps happen!)
Love this tip – I regularly need to get deodorant off! Great video to see the stain-removal in action too
Great tip – I also learned recently that rubbing alcohol will take ink out…got it out of a shirt I had tried every other method under the sun on. I was amazed!
To get out pen–hairspray!!!
I love wet wipes! After having children I will never be without them again. They are awesome for quick clean-ups around the house too!
Oh, and I do carry a Tide Pen. It has saved many outfits, the children the hubby and me too!
Great tip! I will definitely have to remember that one!
Love this, I’m sure I’ve unknowingly tried it before, but now filing it away as a go-to emergency trick!
Thanks to you and that informative lady at Ann Taylor, I’ve been doing this trick for years… and it comes in handy ALL THE TIME, especially now with 9 grandchildren!
And, of course, I’m ALWAYS stocked with wet wipes!
THAT is awesome!
I love that! Hydrogen peroxide takes out blood. I learned that the first time I cut Joshua’s nails. He was wearing a white onesie. Oops.
Even though we’re done with diapers, I will continue to buy wipes for all sorts of other uses, for stains and removing makeup.
This is an amazing trick! I was just about to take my black dress to the dry cleaner…You just saved me $10!
I see that someone already mentioned this but I will second it, hydrogen peroxide will take out blood. Being a nurse this bit of knowledge has come in handy multiple times…
Thanks for the wet wipes tip! I will be remembering that one!
I am SO loving this series!!! Thanks for all the great tips!!
William is such a cutie! ♥
