Chantel first applies shaving cream to the entire stain, then she lets it soak in for ten minutes.
After that, she uses a brush or cloth to rub against the stain in circular motions. She then said, “You can see the spot shrinking instantly.
She then washes the garment as she normally would in the washing machine and the stain is completely banished.
The hack was popular, with many thanking her for posting it, and some sharing their own methods for getting rid of stubborn stains.
“It’s so good,” said one woman. “I also make a paste with baking soda and lemon and apply it gently.”
Another said: “You are absolutely a superhero. I have so many makeup stains on my light colored clothes and I don’t know how to get them off – until now!”
Chantel also shared the formula for a DIY spray that removes sweat stains from clothes in just 10 minutes.
It uses a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and dish soap to easily remove sweat stains from clothes.
“This is the easiest way to permanently remove underarm deodorant stains,” she captioned her video.
Chantel mixes two parts hydrogen peroxide with one part dish soap to create the magic spray.
She then pours the mixture into a bottle and sprays it on the stained clothes, letting it soak for ten minutes.
“The powerful mixture will remove the stain right away,” she said.
She then washes the clothes as usual.
While the trick is typically used on white clothes, Chantel said the 3% hydrogen peroxide and a shorter soak time should work well on dark clothes.
However, she always recommends testing the patches first, as different materials may react differently to the DIY mix.
