Scare away the spookiest of stains with Dr. Beckmann’s ultimate cleaning guide
As Halloween comes creeping around the corner, and the trick or treaters come out to play, sometimes the scariest part of Halloween is the very next morning, when the ghouls and ghosts of the night before become the stubborn stains left over from the messiest day of the year!
Spooky season may be a thrilling celebration of all things haunted and harrowing, but there is no denying that the most terrifying part of Halloween can be the next day with Brits having to transform from ‘Ghostbusters’ into ‘Dirtbusters’!
To combat this, the experts at cleaning and laundry brand, Dr. Beckmann, has come up with the top ten scariest stains you may experience this Halloween, and the best way to fright back quickly!
Dr. Beckmann spook-person, Chloe Baker said: “As fun as Halloween is, it usually comes with a whole host of stains making their way into our homes, ranging from fake blood to chocolate to gruesome gunk.
“So we’ve put together our top tips to help efficiently eradicate the spills and stains, and not allow the frights of Halloween to continue into the next day!
“Growing up, we all loved the treats that come with trick or treating but sweet snacks like chocolate and caramel can leave behind the most stubborn of stains.
“To treat these sticky spillages, take an ice cube and place it on the stain for an hour, then simply scrape off with a blunt knife. Then apply a specialist product, like Dr. Beckmann’s Stain Devils – Fat and Sauces onto the stain and leave to set for just three minutes, before dabbing away at the mark as it disappears.
“Who doesn’t love carving pumpkins at Halloween? Sadly, we don’t love the aftermath anywhere near as much! When treating pumpkin stains on your clothes, it is always best to blot the damaged fabric with a damp cloth before preparing to wash the item, then use a specialised stain remover to help treat and eliminate the blemish.
“Fake blood is a staple for spooky season. However, removing the inevitable mess that comes with fake blood is more terrifying than the blood itself! If you get it on your clothes, make sure to smother the stain in cold water as soon as possible, then proceed to rub in lemon juice. Finish by popping your clothes into the washing machine, with one of Dr. Beckmann’s Magic Leaves Laundry Detergent Sheets for that super fresh feel.
“And it’s not just the kids that make mess, us adults can be just as bad! Boozy Halloween parties can often lead to spillages, and none are scarier than the dreaded red wine spills. In this case, you need to act quickly, blot the alcohol with a cloth until the stain has been absorbed, then use a sponge and some cold water to follow. If the stain has slivered its way onto sofas or even the curtains, Dr. Beckmann’s Upholstery Stain Remover is always handy to have in the cupboard.
“We hope these top tips will help everybody eradicate those franken-stains and enjoy a stress-free Halloween. There is a wide range of products on offer from stain removers to laundry whiteners, enabling your home and clothes to be scarily fresh in no time!”
