Atlanta Apartments

All Atlanta apartment stains are not created equal. Here are a few tips on getting out the most difficult stains without ruining your clothing, upholstery, or other fabric and surfaces or ensuring that you are able to get back your Atlanta apartment security deposit.

Coffee – 1) Rub denatured alcohol into the stain and then rise with water.
2) Beat an egg yolk, with a white cloth rub the yolk into the stain and then wipe off.
3) Apply a solution of half vinegar and half water and then wash.

Collar Stains – Rub shampoo into shirt collar stains, let sit for 30 minutes then wash.

Crayon - Toothpaste or an ammonia soaked cloth will remove crayon marks from painted walls.

Deodorant Stains – Sponge stain with white vinegar. If stain remains, saturate with denatured alcohol and then launder at the hottest temperature the fabric will allow.

Glued On Labels – Spray (saturate) with wd-40 and use a paper towel to chip away at glue.

Gum – Use an ice cube to harden the gum and then a dull knife to chip it carefully away.

Cooking spray will also help remove gum from clothing and from hair.

Ink, Ballpoint Pen – Saturate fabric with an alcohol based hair spray then blot the stain with a rag (not a paper towel), and then wash as usual. This method may ruin some sensitive fabrics like silk, always spot test this method to make sure you don’t make a bigger mess than what you started with.

Ink, Water Based – These stains will normally come out with an all purpose cleanser like Fantastic or Simple Green. As with the ballpoint pen method, please spot test your fabric first to make sure that the cleanser does not ruin the material.

Juice – Red or purple juice can be removed from carpeting by sprinkling salt on the stain as soon as possible. The salt will absorb the liquid forming a paste that can be easily scraped up.
