Greetings to all needlewomen on the blog "". A rare embroiderer can boast of high speed when working, usually the process stretches for several months, if not years. This is not bad at all - everyone has their own pace and their own preferences. But during the work with the canvas, anything can happen, and most often, what needlewomen have to deal with is spots on embroidery. How to deal with them and what to do so that the spots do not appear?

Usually I try to give only verified information on the blog, share my own experience, telling real facts. Therefore, I could not start an article about stains on embroidery for a long time - it’s just that usually I didn’t have any stains on the canvas. Except for traces of simple pencil, which I wrote about, showing my work "", as well as traces of chocolate, which were easily washed off with.

So I had to open an experimental site, which unfolded interesting for myself and for the observer-son. Trying to wash off all kinds of stains is not a task for the faint of heart, so I “set” only the running ones - from tea, from berries and ... a simple pencil. 🙂

But let's talk about everything in order.

What should I do to prevent stains from appearing on embroidery?

Ideally, of course, to do embroidery outside the kitchen area and without little helpers who strive either with a marker or with paints to help mom in the process of creating a picture. For the time when you are not embroidering, put the fabric in a bag, thus protecting it from all sorts of accidents and dust.

However, this does not always help to protect yourself from all sorts of stains.

The most important thing to remember is that it is best to remove fresh spots. The sooner you notice the stain and start removing it, the more likely it is to remove it without consequences for the canvas and floss.

However, old spots on embroidery are not a sentence either. They just might require more effort and options to work.

True, using too many funds at once is also not worth it - you can completely ruin the canvas and the work as a whole.

How to prevent molting floss

If during embroidery you notice that the threads paint your fingers or canvas, I advise you to rinse the embroidery in vinegar water before the main wash: dilute a tablespoon of 9% vinegar in 3-5 liters of cold water and hold the canvas in the solution.

Important! If you used a marker for marking, first rinse it off with cold water and only then dip the embroidery in vinegar.

This method allows you to "fix" the paint and will not allow the threads to shed. In addition, it will help to make the colors more vivid, saturated. Therefore, I recommend lowering the entire work into a solution of vinegar, and not one fragment.

If the threads have already shed, you will have to be patient and cold water. Pour ice water into the basin (you can even throw ice cubes) and leave the work in the water for an hour, then change the water back to ice water.

How to get stains out of embroidery

Now let's talk directly about the stains that may appear from various kinds of products.

Tea or coffee stains

I don’t have coffee in my house, but the tea stain turned out to be the most harmful. So I do not advise anyone to drink tea next to the embroidery - you can seriously ruin the work. And the only option would be to repaint the entire canvas. 🙂 After all, this is a well-known way to make a unique canvas with a light (in case of a weak tea solution) or bright (in case of strong tea leaves) “pattern”. But we are not interested in creating a new shade, but in removing tea stains.

It is possible that if the tea is not strong and rinse the work immediately, the fabric will brighten. BUT this advice did not help me - the canvas with the stain lay for about five minutes and there was no longer any sense from cold water.

Wash with laundry soap slightly improved the situation, but still the tea stain remained.

The photo is not so noticeable - you need to look closely, but from afar on a white background it is clearly visible.

You could try Vanish, it is often used by embroiderers to remove stains. But I do not have it. Another tip says: rub with lemon or soak in lemon water (tablespoon lemon juice per glass of water)

As a result, only bleach for baby clothes coped with the task (for a long time I have been using only powder and bleach "Eared Nanny" - when in the house Small child otherwise it doesn't work.)

Although, too, it seems to me, if you look closely, you can still notice a slight shade of tea ...

Grease spots

With greasy spots usually any dishwashing detergent will do the job well. The only thing is that you should first try to soak only the threads in it - to check if they shed or fade. Wash in warm water and preferably do not soak finished work in the facility for a long time. And then it is important to rinse the embroidery very well.

Stains from berries, red wine

With red wine, my house is also tense, as with coffee. But the freezer is full of berries - regularly in a saucepan there is fruit drink for my son. Here is one cranberry ruthlessly crushed on the canvas. 🙂

Pay attention to how “successfully” it turned out - there is a light area and a darker one. This, as it turns out, is important too.

The advice that made me experiment with the berry is to use boiling water. It is important to take boiling boiling water and stretch the fabric on the hoop. Be careful with the ferry!

I poured one and a half liters of boiling water from the kettle onto a small spot. However…

A weak trace of a berry can still be removed in this way, but a strong one, alas, no.

Laundry soap partly exacerbated the problem - part of the stain went away, and part became purple. I suppose it’s also because I already washed it in warm water, because it’s simply not realistic to wash the fabric with your hands in boiling water.

Next came the bleach. In general, of course, at first it would be necessary to try the stain remover of the same brand that I mentioned. He usually copes with berry stains on ordinary T-shirts. But here I didn’t have it, so I immediately applied the “radical” option.

The bleach did the job, BUT, notice that part of the canvas has also bleached. This is barely noticeable to the eye, because the canvas is cream, but this means that bleach can only be used on white fabric and it is advisable not to allow undiluted bleach to get on floss and colored canvas. That is, it is worth diluting the product a little, and only then use it.

blood stains

Sometimes it happens to be pricked with a needle while sewing, because blood stains can also appear on the embroidery. But here, sorry, I didn’t specifically cut my fingers. 😀 If someone really tried some active means, I will be happy to read your opinion in the comments.

As for the advice on the Internet (which, as you have already seen, can not always be trusted 😉 , it is suggested to remove the stain with hydrogen peroxide or saliva. To do this, moisten a piece of white thread with saliva and apply a wet lump to the stain, most of the stain should come off thread, and the rest can also be removed in cold water. In general, blood is usually washed well in cold, almost icy water. So it might be worth holding it under cold water first, and then using saliva or peroxide.

Markers and pencil marks

Often there are questions about how to remove a mark from a marker or a simple pencil, so let's talk about this type of stain on embroidery.

How to remove a marker

Recently, I was asked if the marker would wash off if it was applied to the canvas a couple of years ago. To be honest, I haven’t marked the canvas for a very long time, but it was on it that I made a small markup about seven years ago.

Here it is barely noticeable - the camera, of course, cannot convey as accurately as possible. But I note that in reality the trace of a water-soluble marker is not so noticeable - it has faded over time.

If you used cold water, but for some reason the marker did not come off right away, hold the embroidery in ice water for an hour. Should help.

But if you rinsed the embroidery in warm water and the marker “fixed”, then, I believe, either a stain remover-bleach will help, or ... nothing. Perhaps one of my readers knows how to deal with such stains - share your experience in the comments! 😉

How to remove a simple pencil from embroidery

But the surprise for me was the removal of markings from a simple pencil. At the very beginning of the existence of the blog, she shared her experience and warned all beginner embroiderers

DO NOT use a pencil for marking the canvas!

this stain from a simple pencil remained on my work

But novice embroiderers continue to step on this rake, so they often ask themselves: “ How to remove pencil from embroidery?».

And finally, a solution has been found. Laundry soap. Not simple, Soviet, but Japanese. With the effect of boiling.

Yes, not everyone can sell it. I know that Vanish soap (namely soap) has a similar effect. But I had soap as in the photo ...

I made the markup with a hard pencil (left) and soft (right). Specially many times moved with a soft simple pencil, so that the trace remained decent.

But, to my joy, the soap perfectly washed off both the markings with a hard and soft pencil.

Without excessive effort, but with "bumping" and friction, which, as you remember, is undesirable. Therefore, I still continue to insist - for marking the canvas, please use or select another, suitable way. I wrote about them in an article -

If the spots on the embroidery still have not disappeared

Don't be discouraged if you tried different variants, and the stains did not succumb. It is possible that the work will not be completely ruined if you are smart and creative. 😉

Show your imagination and sew up the soiled fragment: add another row or two of crosses or half-crosses to the embroidery, add some fragment - for example, when embroidering landscapes - sew on a flower, a bush or an asterisk.

Or try to pick up one in a framing workshop that will help hide the defect.

Do you have experience removing stains on embroidery? Have you successfully managed to remove traces of coffee from the canvas? Or maybe you tried some other ways to remove stains on embroidery that I did not mention? Share your experience in the comments!

Have you been lucky enough to become the parents of a young talent for whom the whole house is an artistic canvas? A child turns walls, furniture and other objects into intricate art objects, and you grab your head thinking how to clean it all up?

Indeed, when new wallpapers are covered with sweeping scribbles, it is difficult for mom to rejoice - after all, it is she who will have to shed sweat in the fight against the "masterpiece".

Calm, just calm. the site will share with you simple tricks that will help remove traces children's creativity from various surfaces and return the apartment and clothes to their original appearance.

Let's start with the most innocuous art tool - a pencil. To cope with traces of both a simple graphite pencil and its colored counterpart, it is enough to use a soft eraser. It is necessary to erase the slate trace from the embossed wallpaper with extreme caution, do not be zealous so as not to damage the canvas.

You can remove the pencil from the fabric using a toothbrush with a drop of dishwashing detergent. The fabric must be gently rubbed and then washed.

If the child chose walls covered with paper wallpaper as a picturesque object, then we have bad news for you. It will not work to reanimate such wallpapers. It remains only to come to terms with the upcoming repairs. But with vinyl wallpaper, watercolor or gouache can be washed off with soapy water at room temperature.

Gouache and watercolor can be easily removed from clothes with any oxygen bleach.

When buying a set of felt-tip pens for a child, it is worth making a choice in favor of children's felt-tip pens with water-based rather than alcohol-based ink. This will make your life much easier in the future. The water-based paint of such a felt-tip pen is easily erased from the surfaces with a damp sponge soaked in soapy water.

If the baby got to your permanent markers or you accidentally bought alcohol markers for children's creativity- do not be upset. Although it is more difficult to remove such paint, it is possible. Attack the stain with the usual penny hydrogen peroxide, use oxygen bleach, or make your own stain remover - take 1 part baking soda, 1 part alcohol, mix, wet a cotton pad and gently rub the stain with it. Be careful not to smudge! In the fight against art, move from the edge to the center of the colorful patch.

A fabric stained with a felt-tip pen can be cleaned, including with soda. Pour a little powder onto a damp sponge and go over the stain. Unfortunately, tissue fibers are slightly injured in this case.

The basis of the batch for wax crayons is paraffin and coloring pigments, and therefore the stroke from this artistic tool turns out to be greasy and does not erase well. But the kids are very fond of drawing with them, because the picture comes out so bright, “juicy”! But it happens that the kid is too fond of creativity and forgets that you need to draw on the paper intended for this. To get rid of an unauthorized masterpiece, you need to use an iron. Apply printer paper or old newspaper to the wax mark and iron the surface with a hot iron soleplate. Repeat the procedure until the paper is no longer clogged. Then apply dry baby powder to the place of the astrakhan fur and let it soak up the rest of the paraffin.

Pen paste is one of the worst evils, which is quite difficult to deal with. Try to make and use this stain remover: mix one part acetone (contact your husband, he should have it in the garage) and one part alcohol, dip an ear stick in the solution and gently wipe the mark from the pen, avoiding the unaffected surface. Change cotton swab as it gets dirty. Instead of acetone, you can use acetone-based nail polish remover. Or try removing ink blots with chlorine bleach. Be careful - all these tools are aggressive! Take precautions.

The safest way to remove stains from clothes ballpoint pen is sour milk. Soak the fabric in it for several hours, and then wash it in soapy water with a couple of drops of ammonia.

If a young sculptor is growing up in your family, who decorates his father's house with intricate plasticine stucco, then the rooms are probably full of traces of this type of creativity. We can offer several methods of salvation from greasy plasticine stains at once. The first method is perfect for cleaning the surfaces of tables and chairs: take a piece of ice and attach it to plasticine, then use a spatula to scrape off the hardened mass. Don't delay! If you miss the moment, the greasy component of the material will saturate the surface and it will become problematic to get rid of the stain.

If a child dropped his masterpiece on the carpet, where it was thoroughly rubbed into the villi, then the affected surface must be “treated” with an iron. The method was described above when we talked about how to get rid of stains after wax crayons.

To clean clothes, put them in the freezer until the plasticine is completely petrified. Then, try to remove the adhering material mechanically. Next, treat the “problem” place with soapy water and leave for 15 minutes, after which rub the stain with a toothbrush (you can use soda).

From paper wallpaper, greasy traces of plasticine, alas, cannot be removed. It remains only to conclude that such wallpapers are not suitable for a home where children grow up.

Concerning plasticine selection, now there is an excellent alternative to the usual classic - wax clay. It is more plastic and easier to mold, and most importantly, it gets less dirty! There is another option - soft plasticine in jars, which hardens in the air. Yes, dried material is not suitable for reuse, as it becomes brittle and crumbles easily. But on the other hand, such a craft, forgotten somewhere on the carpet, will not melt in the heat and will not upset you with a colored puddle that has eaten into the surface.

Tips for parents of little art lovers

All children love to draw and sculpt. In addition, creative activities are useful for fine motor skills and contribute common development child. Therefore, it is impossible to interfere with children's arts, even if the child spoils the furniture. Try to explain to the baby that there are specially designated places and surfaces for drawing and sculpting, but do not rely too much on obedience. For your part, you can minimize the level of damage - get easy-to-wash art supplies for kids at water based. If you are making repairs, consult a specialist before buying material for walls, tell them that a child is growing up in your house.

If the child is still too young to accept your rules creative process and it is not possible to fight with the arts, and there are no plans for repairs - it is necessary to provide the young creator with all the conditions for self-realization. Protect the wallpaper by attaching sheets of thick Whatman paper to the walls.

Each child is the pride of his parents, the fruit of their joint creation. A talented child is doubly proud. Stock up on patience in your good work of raising offspring and rejoice in the success of your child - after all, this is your success, do not forget! And ruined wallpaper, after all, is just a piece of paper.

Removing makeup stains from fabric can be tricky if you don't know a few simple rules. Keep in mind that various cosmetics react differently to detergents and the success of washing depends on whether you make the right decision in each case.

When removing stains, it is important to consider not only the composition of the substance that led to contamination, but also the composition of the fabric. So, for example, if we are talking about such delicate fabrics as silk or fine wool, and the stain is clearly not easy, then you should put aside experiments and turn to professional cleaning. In such cases, it is better to rely on experience and reassure yourself that if the situation worsens, you will be compensated for your loss.

Sometimes you have to suffer to remove some stains from cosmetics.

A few simple rules

• If you put a stain on your clothes, never rub it with paper or a towel. To remove moisture that has not yet been absorbed, blot the stain straight up and down with a paper towel. In the case of spot friction, you are more likely to make it worse;
• Don't use hot water unless you know for sure that it will help. In decorative cosmetics, persistent dyes are used, which, under the influence of high temperature only get fixed;
• Do not use regular cosmetic soap. Some types of soap contain fragrances and cosmetic ingredients that will aggravate the situation;
• Take care of the stain as soon as possible. This will greatly increase your chances of success;
• Wash difficult stains by hand, but avoid rubbing the fabric. If the stain has a hard residue on the surface, The best way remove excess - remove them with a plastic spoon;
• If possible, test your bleach or detergent on a small area of ​​the stain that is not very noticeable;
• Place a few drops of stain remover directly onto the stain. If the stain is very fresh and you don't have a stain remover on hand, you can use dishwashing detergent with water in proportions of 2 to 1;
• Do not rub cloth against cloth when washing makeup. There is a high chance that in this case you will get two spots instead of one. This is especially true for lipstick. Pinch the cloth between your thumb and forefinger and try to clean the stain in this way. Spare no detergent;
• Don't put clothes in the dryer until you're sure the stain is completely gone. Drying fixes most difficult spots tightly;
• If possible, do not rush to remove the stain with what is at hand. Even 10 years ago, various tricky methods had to be used to remove stains. However, now the choice of stain removers is quite wide and you can pick up something for any type of fabric. Yes, and cosmetics during this time has become much more insidious;
• Mascara and eyeliner are often done on oil based, so in addition to removing the paint, you will have to think about removing the oil stain. Most types of eyeliner and mascara are excellently removed with a 2 to 1 mixture of dish detergent and water. If the soiling is more serious and you have White Spirit or another quality solvent on hand that leaves no residue, you can use it. However, be sure to test it on an inconspicuous area of ​​the fabric. Alternatively, you can use lighter fluid. Be careful when using it, it is highly flammable;
• Some people advise using Coca Cola to remove stains. It is indeed quite effective on some types of pollution. However, remember that white cloth be sure to shed and you will encounter a new problem;
• Removing makeup stains is a repetitive process. If the stain does not come out after the first treatment, treat again. If you need to interrupt, leave the stain wet with the stain remover, but never dry the fabric until it is completely gone;
• Many types of lipstick are perfectly removed with alcohol;
• Liquid makeup base is often well washed off with a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution;
• Blush, eye shadow and powdered makeup base will come off when processed with a paste of washing powder(Automatic) and water;

General washing process for clothes with difficult stains

• Treat the stain with a stain remover or a paste of laundry detergent and water;
• Lightly rub the stain with your fingers and rinse in warm water;
• Soak your clothes in a good bleach or stain remover based on "oxygen". Leave for at least 8 hours. If after this the stain remains, repeat the soak;
• Wash as usual;
• If you “planted” a stain on clothes that require only dry cleaning, then, unfortunately, only professional dry cleaning will help you;
• Hair dye stains are the hardest to remove. It usually helps to blot the stain with isopropyl alcohol until the stain dissolves. In addition, white spirit or lighter fluid helps well. But when removing paint stains, you need to be especially careful.

Even 10 years ago, in the absence of professional detergents on store shelves, removing cosmetic stains from fabric was quite problematic, and improvised methods had to be used. Now it’s worth just keeping a small package of professional stain remover on hand, which will greatly facilitate your life in an emergency. However, remember that the use of a stain remover, although it facilitates the process, does not negate the advice given in this article.
