Have you ever tried digging
into a pile of clothes and finally found what you've wanted? Unfortunately,
upon checking on the garment, you noticed that the item is stained. Either it
is a brown or yellowish stain, that sight alone is disappointing, right?
But, good news is here for you. You can
remove any stain with an aid of a known and useful kitchen's "secret
ingredient" - VINEGAR.
Yes, you are right. A vinegar
is not only an ingredient for your favorite "paksiw" or
"kinilaw" but also an effective ukay treasure disinfectant and stain
remover.
** Try these simple tricks and it might do wonders on your ukay finds. :)
