Hi, I'm Malena from Malena's Vintage
Boutique and this is a multi-part series
of my favorite products that I use to
clean vintage clothing
first we talk about a product that just about everybody has in their household,
regular old bleach. Now you need to be
careful soaking things in bleach
long-term because it will deteriorate
the fabric but it is a great stain
fighter. I keep a little bit of it and a
little eyedropper so you can drop it
right on to the stain. Next one of my
favorite things is oxy clean you can
soak something in this for days and days
and days even pieces that are
turn-of-the-century
and they're not going to fall apart
OxiClean fight stains differently than
bleach so it will get out some things that
bleach can't and vice versa. Little-known
Fact, OxiClean can be used on colored items
just be careful on items at date
pre-1940 because they're not colorfast. A
new product on the market is the Febreze
odor eliminator. This is a liquid that
you add to a entire load of laundry so
if you're washing a bunch of 1950s
cotton dresses add a little bit of this
and it'll make them smell really fresh
and clean. Another item that just about
everybody has is dryer sheets. If you get
an old vintage pocketbook that smells a
little musty inside you can put in some
dryer sheets and it will absorb the odor.
they're also great for vintage shoes or
just when your story and vintage items
put a few of these in the pockets and
when you take them out the next
season, they'll smell nice and clean. Next
we're onto the stain fighters. Resolve
spray and wash is one of my favorites. It
really penetrates the stains without
ruining the fabric or the print on some older pieces.
My most recently discovered stain
fighter is Whink rust remover. It is
awesome you can put it on just about
anything and literally just watch the
stain lift out of the clothing. You don't
need to dampen the item just squirt it
on. Now Whink rust remover you can't find at a grocery store you need to look at a
Home Depot Lowe's or an Ace Hardware. Now
if you're really trying to target a
difficult stain, Carbona Stain Devil's
is the way to go. They come in a
multitude of varieties for grass, ink,
blood, wine... now each of them works a
little bit differently so make sure you
read the directions. They're also found in
a grocery store or online.
Stay tuned for more episodes on how to
use these products on vintage clothing.
