The hardest thing when washing clothes is to removes stains, especially from oily food and cosmetics but talcum powder can make washing your clothes an easy task by helping in removing these stains.
If your clothes are stained by oil or other food item then don’t let it dry and immediately put some talcum powder which will absorb most of the oil. Leave the powder on the cloth for few hours in warm temperature, and then wash it with detergent.
Similarly if your cloth is stained by lipsticks or other cosmetics then apply the same technique, use powder which will absorb the stain. Before washing take water tab and fill it with water and few spoons of baking soda, leave clothes in it for few hours and then wash with your washing powder.
These home remedies are far better than using chemical products which may remove the stain but also affect the cloth.
