People drink all kinds of tea. For example, in spring and summer, drinking green tea has many health benefits.

If you accidentally get tea on white clothes, the white clothes will change color. What are the ways to solve this problem?

What should I do if my white clothes are stained with tea?

There are the following methods:

1. If the clothes are stained with tea stains, if they are just stained, you can rub and wash them with 70~80 degree hot water to remove them. If it is an old stain, soak it in strong salt water.

2. Use a cloth or cotton ball dipped in dilute ammonia water to wipe the tea stains, or rub and wash them off with a mixture of 1:10 ammonia water and glycerin. If the clothes stained with tea are woolen, you should rub them with 10% glycerin solution, then rub them with detergent, and finally rinse them with clean water.

3. Do not soak in colored rice water to prevent staining.

4. Yellowed silk clothing can also be rinsed with lemon juice or light citric acid to remove the yellow stains. Finally, rinse with clean water.

T-shirt cleaning and maintenance

A good T-shirt must be soft and elastic, breathable and cool to wear. When washing, turn the entire T-shirt inside out and avoid rubbing the patterned side. Try to wash it by hand instead of using a dryer. When hanging clothes to dry, do not pull the collar to prevent deformation. Remember to wash and iron your clothes carefully when the seasons change. You should understand the material of the clothes before handling them so that you will not damage your favorite clothes during the washing and ironing process.
