Celebrity stylist Liz Teich shares her expert tips and product recommendations for effectively removing all types of stains from white clothing, from coffee to makeup, and even offers an eco-friendly solution for unsalvageable garments.
Many people hesitate to wear white due to the fear of stains, but celebrity stylist Liz Teich debunks this myth, explaining that white fabrics are often easier to clean because they lack dyes. She provides essential advice for keeping white clothing pristine, including always treating stains before applying heat (washing on cold and hang-drying whites to prevent stains from setting), and washing whites separately. Teich's recommended stain removal essentials include The Laundress Stain Remover Kit for mystery stains, Dawn dish soap for oil-based stains (with a last-resort baking soda and iron method), hydrogen peroxide for organic stains like coffee, blood, or sweat (used cautiously and rinsed quickly), OxiClean White Revive Powder for sunscreen stains (as a bleach alternative), and micellar water for makeup stains. For garments beyond repair, she suggests an eco-friendly solution: dyeing them a new color. Additionally, she recommends Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover for general carpet and furniture stains.
