Got a Stain On Your Quilt? Here’s How To Get It Out! Part 2
by Jane Green
In the last article, we looked at what to do when staining occurs and how to treat oil and grease based stains.
Continuing on from there we will now look at the next most typical type of stain that happens on quilts:
<b>Protein Stains</b>
Believe it or not, this is a big one. Many folks are surprised to find out just how many protein based stains there may be. Stuff like mustard, blood, fruit juice, mud, vomit, wine, coffee, chocolate and coca are all protein based stains.
The rule of thumb is, if it came from a human or something humans eat, chances are its a protein stain.
The most useful way to remove a protein stain is to get rid of as much of it as practicable by blotting with paper or fabric towels to remove any excess fluids or materials. Then mix up some cold water and salt using the measure of 1 tsp of salt to 1 pint of water.
I can not emphasize the importance of cold water enough. Don't use hot water! Hot water will react with the protein and lock in the stain.
For tea or coffee, use borax and water or if you have it on hand, Club Soda works a treat as well , this one actually helped me when I spilled coffee on my favouirte <a target='_blank' href="http://www.mypatchworkquilt.com/patchwork-quilt/">patchwork quilt</a>. For wine and fruit juices, you will need an ammonia based cleaner to get rid of all of the staining.
If the stain doesn't come out immediately, you could need to soak the affected area for one or two hours before placing it a jumbled bag. There are such a lot of different types of chemicals and each one has its own way of treating it. The better news is that most chemicals will have cleaning directions on the back of the packaging advising how to deal with it if staining occurs, so consult the packets.

This is an assorted bag. There are so many differing types of chemicals and every one has an individual way of treating it. The good news is that most chemicals will have cleaning instructions on the back of the packing advising how to treat it if marking happens, so consult the packets.
Tar and asphalt are also impossible to get out as this tends to lock into the fibres themselves and cannot be melted or scrubbed out.
Hopefully this guide has given you a couple of good ideas and aids you in getting out any aggravating or stubborn stains.
