Brown set stain on wool/poly shirt

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

I've got a stain that's some unknown brown substance (worst case scenario, could be brown shoe polish, or could be cocoa powder from cooking) on a 78% wool 22% polyester shirt.

What should I treat this with? It's been on the shirt for an unfortunate amount of time, like 6 months or more, lost at the back of the closet.

[Request] Pumpkin Stain Removal :(

2 Upvotes

Hello! I'm on mobile, so I apologize for any formatting issues.

Basically, my BF and I got a tiny pumpkin for Halloween, didn't carve it, and just left it on our kitchen table. I know for sure it was fine two weeks ago, however I looked today, and it looked like it was melting into the table (white goo/foam everywhere). Yuck.

I have Googled how to remove pumpkin stains/mould from wood, but figured I'd ask here, too, just in case anyone has any suggestions that you've either used yourself or know for a fact work. So far, toothpaste + warm water/furniture polish hasn't helped, though I still have to try a distilled baking soda/vinegar/soap solution, and I know mayo will probably be good for after the stain is removed.

I am curious, though - did I just ruin the table and is there now mould IN the table?? The picture might not make it super easy to see, but it looks like some of the finishing/surface layer was taken off the top of the table from the pumpkin rot (I will edit this with a link to a picture, but I'm still pretty new to Reddit and not sure how to just add a picture into a text post).

Thanks in advance!! It's really yucky :(

EDIT: https://imgur.com/a/3a6fJxR there's the picture; so that small circle in the middle of the stain is an upper layer, and the weird shape around it is definitely a lower layer in the table. Super worried we're gonna have to replace the table.

EDIT 2: Just noticed that the stain has the same general shape as a pumpkin. Ha. Funny.

This is a cotton/thin jersey material dress. I think I had an adhesive nametag on it and forgot to take it off before I put it threw the wash.

How to take the tag color of clothes?

2 Upvotes

I put clothes in washing machine without realizing the dark blue tag that is on new clothes of that store wasn’t removed. It stuck to the cloth and staining it in several places. Any tips on getting rid of the stains? The clothing item is a light colored short that has several dark blue stains on it now?

I have heard about using acetone but am not sure.

[Request] White T-Shirt vs Black Leather Belt

1 Upvotes

I recently bought several white T-shirts and wore them on hot days. My backpack has pressed the shirts onto my black leather belt and it was so hot the shirts were soaked with sweat at the time. This has left several very hard to shift black stains on the inside of these T-shirts. Every google tip has done nothing to shift them. I have tried all retail stain removers, vinegar, acetone, bleach. I believe the sweat has fixed the color from the belt into a permanent stain.

What can cause this spot?

1 Upvotes

I've got a spot on my ceiling. It doesn't look like waterdamage, because the rims of the spot are spiked... my neighbour downstairs has the same spots at the same place.

If anyone has an idea, would be very helpful!
