After half an hour, scrub the area with a soft brush in circular motions, but make sure not to rub too hard to avoid damaging the fabric, then once done scrubbing, rinse it with lukewarm water, and hang it dry in direct sunlight.

#2: Ink Stain

Ensure the affected area is wet by adding some cold water, then pour enough baking soda onto the stain, and mix to create a paste. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, then rinse it off with cold water, and repeat as necessary until the stain has been removed. Use a clean cloth to dab any excess moisture away and hang it up to dry.

#3: Grease Stain

Start by sprinkling some baking soda onto the affected area, then let it sit for about 40 minutes until the baking soda has absorbed the oil from the fabric. After a couple of minutes, wash away the greasy spot using a brush or sponge until all traces or residue have been removed. Finally, rinse off the area with warm water and launder as usual with detergent and softener as instructed on the clothing label.

#4: Coffee, Fruit, & Wine Stain

Combine 3 parts of baking soda with 1 part of water until it forms a paste, it should be thick and spreadable enough to coat the fabric evenly. Apply the paste to the stained area with a sponge or toothbrush, then ensure that the entire area is covered, and let it sit for at least 1 hour. After an hour, rinse it off, and repeat the process until the stain is gone or as needed.

#5: Grass Stain

Create a paste using baking soda and water, then apply it directly onto the stained clothing area, and allow the mixture to sit for about 40 minutes. After a couple of minutes, wipe away the excess with a clean cloth or paper towel, then wash the garment as you normally would, and hang it up to dry.

#6: Blood & Vomit Stain

Create a paste using 2 parts of baking soda and 1 part water, then apply it directly onto the stain, and gently rub it with your fingertips or a brush. Allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes, then launder the clothing with warm water and detergent or as instructed on the label, and add half a cup of white vinegar to the cycle to help break down the residue.
