If you\u2019re anything like me, you absolutely abhor them. Although I\u2019m not at all a neat freak, when it comes to stains, I kind of see red. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve somehow managed to build up an incredible amount of usually quite useless knowledge when it comes to stain removal. Except in this case of course. Now, we\u2019re not saying this is very likely, but if you do manage to come across some ink or dirt, let\u2019s just say your wedding dress emergencies are solved!<\/p>\n<h2>Blood<\/h2>\n<p>Not a nice one. You\u2019ve managed to prick your finger on a corsage or some other unfortunate way, well fear not. Get the stain under a cold tap asap (it\u2019s best to get the blood before it dries). Turn the fabric around inside out (i.e where it bled in to) and push the stain back out through the fabric. It\u2019s important that the water is as cold as possible so as not to \u2018cook\u2019 the blood into the fabric. Sounds gross, I know.<\/p>\n<h2>Ink Stain<\/h2>\n<p>Maybe you were signing a little note to your significant other and your hand just slipped? Apply some hairspray to a cotton swab and dab lightly over the stain. Water, bleach or liquid cleaner may end up ruining the fabric when combined with ink.<\/p>\n<h2>Oil Stain<\/h2>\n<p>A very easy one to make. Perfume or a small drizzle of salad dressing can quickly ruin a lovely dress. Dip a cotton swab into some talcum powder and gently (but generously) apply it to the spot. Wait 15 or so minutes for the oil to absorbed and shake off\/dust off with a clean towel. Repeat if needed.<\/p>\n<h2>Make-up<\/h2>\n<p>With all the kisses, hugs and tears you\u2019ll be getting, it\u2019s not that difficult to end up with a smidge (or even a smudge!) of make-up on your pretty dress. The trick is not to rub it. Press a small amount of club soda onto the spot and sprinkle with salt to soak up the moisture. If you still have a remaining mark, touch up with white chalk or talcum powder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stains. If you\u2019re anything like me, you absolutely abhor them.
