Stained with soot while lighting the fireplace? Now it's time to use the right remedy so that your clothes don't remain decorated with the black stain. Here we have the most important tips for this:

Removing soot stains

First things first: never treat soot stains while wet.

White bread

Rub the stain with soft, white bread.

Salt

Sprinkle the area thickly with salt, let it sit for a short time, and then brush it off with a brush.

Potato flour

If it is a delicate garment, you should sprinkle potato flour on the soiled area. Let it sit for a while and then wash as usual.

Cooking oil

Cooking oil can also help with a soot stain. Put some oil on a cotton ball and dab the area with it a little. Then wash off the cooking oil with dish soap.
