After buying some popcorn and hot dogs you and your significant other sit in the front seats of the theater when you notice something dwelling on your shirt- it has a brand new stain on it! Now you won't be able to enjoy the movie, and your hubby has turned the other cheek. Here are some tips from dry cleaner Sherman Oaks to make that bad, bad stain go away for good!

Collar Stains

As noticeable as a collar stain may be, they are much easier to treat than you may think. All you need to do is use shampoo on the collar; any brand will do. Just apply it to the collar, rub it in gently, and rinse thoroughly. Then you can regularly launder.

Grass Stains

Getting stains from a pickup soccer game is nobody's ideal version of a perfect day in the park. To get these tricky guys out, use an old toothbrush and plain white toothpaste, just make sure it's a plain variety and not a gel. Apply a small amount of paste onto the stain, and then put the toothbrush in clean water, using it to remove the stain. Repeat this process as much as is needed until the fabric looks clean again. Time to get that second game in at the park.

Grease Stains

Out of all the ways you can ruin clothes, getting grease stains on garments has to be one of the worst as they are visible on all types of clothing. Fear not, this simple trick will eliminate any worries you have about your grease problem. Treat the area with cornstarch. Let the starch absorb the grease for a few minutes, and then brush it away. Now you can be the life of the party again.

Wine Stains

For the sophisticated wine connoisseurs out there, spilling a glass of your favorite red wine on your unsuspecting clothes can be an awful moment indeed. To remedy this, soak the stained area in water and then make a pouch in the cloth where the stain is. Then, place cream of tartar into the pouched area. Tie the ends of the pouch and then let the garment soak. After soaking, put it in and out of hot water and then launder it regularly. If the wine stain is fresh, you can also pour salt on it and let it soak up the stain.

Treating stains is usually never a pleasant experience, but dry cleaner Sherman Oaks believes that with the right materials and timing, those stains don't stand a chance.
