Salt can indeed help remove certain stains, particularly those caused by grease, oil, or blood. It works by absorbing the substance causing the stain, making it easier to remove with other cleaning methods.
Here's how salt can help:
- Grease and Oil Stains: Sprinkle salt directly onto the stain, allowing it to absorb the grease or oil. This helps prevent the stain from setting into the fabric. Afterwards, you can wash the garment as usual.
- Blood Stains: Salt has dehydrating properties and can help break down blood stains. Soak the stained area in cold water with salt for a few hours before washing.
- Sweat Stains: Salt stains from sweat can be tackled by soaking the affected area in a solution of salt and water. This helps dissolve the salt crystals that cause the yellowing.
Remember that salt alone may not completely remove all stains. It is best used as a pre-treatment before washing the garment with detergent or using other stain removal methods.
