The easiest way to wash stains from hands, linoleum and plastic

Stain is an excellent wood treatment product. She can breathe new life into old frames, ennoble furniture, protect things made of wood from rot. But its significant drawback is the ability to firmly adhere to surfaces, deeply eating them. We will figure out how to wash the stain from your hands, remove the stains of this product from clothes, remove it from the floor and furniture.

What is stain and why is it difficult to clean?

Stain - a tool for processing wood. It is also called “beitz” (this term is derived from the German word “Beitze”). It gives the tree color, protects against rot, the development of bacteria and mold. Unlike paint, stain does not hide the texture of the tree. After processing, the growth of tree rings is highlighted brighter, painted in the selected color. This effect is explained by the ability of stain to penetrate deeply into the structure of the material.

This ability also contains the secret of extreme “corrosiveness” of stains from stains. In many forums, there is an opinion that if clothes are spoiled by stains, then it is easier to throw them away than to wash them. It is also bad, according to supporters of this point of view, the floor or furniture is laundered. At the same time, other users are sure: you can clean the spots. You just need to choose the appropriate method.

Prevent stains

The appearance of a stain is easier to prevent than then, with unclear results, trying to wash the stain from various coatings, risking forever spoiling them. Therefore, before you begin, carefully think out a protection strategy:

• Lay the floor at the workplace in several layers with newspapers.
• Wear work clothes before starting treatment. Protect hands with gloves, hair with a hat.
• Cover the workbench or table on which the workpiece dries with polyethylene.

Always close the lid of the container with the stain tightly, taking breaks in operation. The analysis of reviews on thematic forums shows that most of the problems are the result of an overturned open bank.

During operation, do not drop the brush anywhere, but put it on the prepared tray, from which it does not fall onto the table. And keep a rag on hand to wipe off any excess drops from the brush, can, and workpiece before they fall to the floor.

If nevertheless it has spilled - what to do?

No matter how you exercise caution, a few random drops are enough to make noticeable spots on the floor, furniture or hands. In this case, only quick and correct actions will help.

Analyze the composition

First of all, we study the label on the jar with the product. Our task is to understand to which group the stain belongs.

• Water-based fighterse is either dry powders that are diluted with water before work, or ready-made solutions. The chance to wash such a composition from hands, clothes or floors is the highest.
• Oil stains they are based on drying oil - a fatty substance based on vegetable oil. It almost does not smell, but dries for a long time and practically does not dissolve in water.
• Solutions for alcohol. At the heart of such a stinger is denatured alcohol, which evaporates very quickly. Typically, such spots dry out almost instantly, making it difficult to remove them.
• Acrylic Stains made on the basis of synthetic resins. They dry quickly and successfully withstand many solvents. This option is least encouraging regarding the possibility of complete removal of the stain.

Having dealt with the type of stain, it is easier to choose a solvent for removing stains.

Incorrect actions only increase the damage. Therefore, it is not recommended to rub the stain, smearing it on the surface. Before cleaning the linoleum with a solvent, try it on a small piece in an inconspicuous place to make sure that caustic liquid does not destroy the top layer of the floor covering. You can not scratch the surface roughly, since polishing scratches will then be difficult.

How to remove stain from clothes?

The main task when removing traces from clothing is to remove the stain without destroying the paint with which the fabric is painted.

The most effective way of cleaning clothes is recognized:

1. Dilute oxygen bleach with water (the finished composition by consistency should resemble a thick slurry).
2. Lubricate the stain with gruel.
3. Give bleach 20 minutes to destroy the stain.
4. Wash a thing in a washing machine.

Most often, even the use of bleach does not completely eliminate the stain. But it is possible to improve the appearance of clothes.

Traces that remain after the stain can sometimes be masked with decorative stripes, embroidery or a badge.

We wash our hands after work

Removing a hand stinger is not an easy task. The dye penetrates deep into the epidermis, and often it is not possible to remove the stain completely. Work with solvents is allowed only with great care, since alcohol, acetone and other liquids dry the skin very much. Often, complete stain removal occurs only after a few months, when the stained epidermis is completely exfoliated from the hands.

The most effective way to remove the master-handlers of the tree is considered to be hand washing in a composition that removes stains, some small rags (for example, rags soiled in stains). If the stain is water-based, water is used for washing, if it is alcohol-based, it is denatured. The combination of solvent exposure and prolonged friction ensures good cleaning.

Having finished washing your hands, treat the skin with a nourishing cream or ointment based on dexpanthenol (Bepanten, etc.). This will protect the skin from drying out.

We clean linoleum and plastic

The stain is removed with plastic or linoleum with acetone. It is also allowed to use white spirit. But action is required carefully. First, the stain is soaked with cotton soaked in solvent, then the top layer is removed. And so several times until the result is achieved.

It is very difficult to wash the stain. Therefore, maximum efforts should be made to protect against it surfaces that are not planned to be processed.
