The first thing you should know is that stains are a part of everyday life. A little coffee in the morning, sauce during lunch, sweat after a long day, or even a grease stain while cooking are inevitable, because when we least expect it, our clothes end up with a mark that wasn't part of our plan.

But before washing it, there's something important we can do: act in time and give each stain the care it needs.

Knowing the type of stain, checking the fabric, and avoiding common mistakes can make all the difference. And when necessary, a good scrubbing can be that extra step to help loosen the dirt.

1. Coffee, the accident that happens every morning

Few things ruin a morning like coffee on your clothes.

When this happens, the first thing to do is act as soon as possible and carefully remove the excess, avoiding rubbing immediately so as not to spread the stain. 

2. Salsa, the traditional Mexican food

Sauces can leave stubborn stains due to their ingredients and colorings. If you spill some on your clothes, first carefully remove the excess and don't rub it in, as this will only make the stain worse.

An important tip: avoid applying heat before treating the stain, as this can cause some stains to set more firmly into the fibers.

3. Grease, the real terror

A drop of oil or grease can appear while we're cooking or eating. In these cases, hurry so it doesn't stick!.

Remove the excess without spreading it and avoid starting to scrub too hard. 

And remember: not all garments react the same way. A delicate fabric requires different care than a durable garment.

4. Sweat, a stain that appears with use

Sweat is a part of our daily lives; the most important thing here is to prevent residue from accumulating. That's why you should check the ingredients of your creams, deodorants, etc., and let them dry on your skin before getting dressed. 

Additionally, in areas where dirt is more evident, such as armpits or neck, pre-scrubbing can help clean the area before starting the wash.

So, what should I do when a stain appears?

You can remember these four steps:

1. Act quickly.
The less time the stain has to set into the fabric, the better.

2. Identify the fabric.
Check the label for washing recommendations.

3. Avoid experimenting.
Not all remedies work for all fabrics or stains. Avoid products or methods that could damage the garment.

4. Size when necessary.
If the dirt is localized and the garment allows it, a good scrubbing and a good soap like FAMA can help work the area before washing.

5. If the stain is tough, leave your garment with soap in the sun for a while and then scrub it.

Finally, remember that when it comes to the clothes you wear every day, having a soap to help you with that task makes washing part of the routine, not another problem.

With FAMA you have your ally for those days, those clothes and those stains that appear when you least expect them.
