Do you want to know how to remove stains? Here are 13 ways I found to remove these tough stains with inexpensive and easy to find ingredients.
Remove Pink Stains from Your Toilet –
Sometimes this is a bacteria and sometimes it’s a mineral.
Pour some Hydrogen Peroxide (3% you can find at the store) into your toilet.
Let it sit for a bit, scrub with a toilet brush and flush.
How To Remove Hard Water Marks –
Spray with vinegar and with a paper towel or scrub with a sponge.
If you have tougher hard water marks, then I recommend making a baking soda and water paste.
Place that on the hard water marks and let it set there for 10 minutes.
After that scrub and rinse.

Make a paste of baking soda and 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (the kind you can find at the store).
Place that over the stain and let sit for 10 or more minutes. Scrub and wash off.

Remove food stains, pot marks, and more by sprinkling baking soda into the sink and scrubbing it.
Rinse when you’re done.

How To Remove Blood Stains –
Squirt 3% Hydrogen Peroxide onto the blood stain and let sit for 10 or more minutes.
Blot with a damp cloth and see if your stain is gone, if not repeat until it is.
Once the stain is gone – launder as usual.

Squirt rubbing alcohol onto the ink stain and let it sit 10 minutes or more.
Blot at the stain with a damp cloth and see if the ink is gone.
If not repeat until the ink is removed. Once all of the ink is gone, launder.

If you get deodorant onto your clothes, grab a clean dry cloth and rub the clothes the direction of the fabric until the stain is gone.
