There are
stains
that are
difficult or impossible to remove
with
conventional cleaning agents
.
But there is
no reason to despair
:
Ice and cold
can be a
real miracle cure
.
Cold can help
not only with stains, but also with
mites and lice
.
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.
