  • There are

    stains

    that are

    difficult or impossible to remove

    with

    conventional cleaning agents

    .

Offenbach - Who doesn't know it: You come home after a walk or shopping and you find that

chewing gum is

stuck

to the

sole of your favorite

shoe.

Not only is this annoying, it's gross too.

It is even worse when the

sticky mass

ends up

on

your favorite sweater or chic shirt

.

There is often not much that can be saved

with the

usual cleaning agents

.

Ice cubes or the freezer compartment help with chewing gum stains

The solution is that simple.

Ice cubes and the cold

help with

numerous stains

that are otherwise not so easy to remove.

As with chewing gum.

Then the

textiles

or

shoes should

simply be placed in the

freezer

.

Because of the cold, the mass becomes brittle and can usually be

rubbed off

the

shoe sole

,

sweater

or

tablecloth

after half an hour in

freezing temperatures.

Chewing gum in clothes?

Just freeze the part!

It can then simply be pulled off.

The same procedure is also recommended for

resin stains

.

After a walk under shady trees, it is not uncommon for

small resin stains to appear

on

clothing

.

To remove them quickly and without

leaving any

residue, it is also advisable

to put

the

item of clothing in a freezer

and then rub off the stains.

Goodbye to mites: just put cuddly toys in the freezer

The cold

can also help

kill

small animals such as

mites and lice

.

Because the little crawlers are only too happy to settle in cuddly toys, as human skin flakes and hair, on which mites feed, attach themselves there.

So if you want to get rid of the critters reliably from Teddy and Co., you should

regularly

put

the cuddly toy

in the freezer

.

At minus 18 degrees, mites and lice are killed, then you can cuddle again without hesitation.

Ice cubes help with stubborn coffee and wine stains

And

cold also

helps

against

stubborn coffee and wine stains

.

Just put a

few ice cubes

on the stained area.

The cold cools the contamination more quickly.

The dirt is easier to remove and does not penetrate as deeply into the fabric or fibers.

Plastic fabrics in particular can be damaged by the heat of the coffee.

Dark clothes are popular, but they also fade quickly.

You should therefore pay attention to a few things when washing and drying.

The laundry should always be turned inside out before washing so that it does not wear out.
