Grease, foundation, sauce stains—they can ruin your favorite blouse in an instant.
These tough spots are notoriously hard to remove, especially once they've set into the fabric.
I've relied on this effective homemade stain remover for years, passed down from my grandmother. It uses Sommières earth to absorb oils and Marseille soap flakes for deep cleaning, tackling even the most stubborn stains.
It's incredibly simple and fast to make. Here's proof on a massive ketchup stain from my son's T-shirt:
Contents 1. Grab a glass container.
2. Add 5 tablespoons of Sommières earth.
3. Stir in 1 tablespoon of Marseille soap flakes.
4. Mix with a bit of hot water to create a smooth paste.
5. Apply the paste directly to the stain.
6. Rub it gently into the fabric.
7. Let it sit for a few minutes, then toss in the washing machine.
And there you have it! This magic paste made the encrusted ketchup stain vanish completely.
It's a game-changer for makeup, creams, grease—you name it. Sommières earth has long been prized for its fat-absorbing properties, a trick my grandmother swore by and shared with me.
