White vinegar has been used as a natural stain remover for centuries and targets an array of fabrics, such as cotton, linen, and polyester. It is also a good cleaning item that can be used on general surfaces around the house, particularly bathrooms and kitchens.

The product has a fragrance to it but after washing we couldn't smell this and it is recommended to rinse thoroughly after the remover has been on for over 15 minutes. Soda crystals are alkaline in nature, which means they have a high pH level. This alkalinity helps to neutralize acidic stains, such as those caused by fruit juices or coffee.

Cons: Vinegar scent, can't be used on natural worktops, can damage finish on wooden floors if not diluted

Test on an inconspicuous area before using it for the first time on a new surface. Dampen a clean sponge, nylon scouring pad or soft cloth with clean warm water, scoop a small quantity of paste and gently apply to surface in a small circular motion. Rinse with clean water or wipe with a clean cloth to remove residue and excess paste. Specialised stain removers are also a really good investment, particularly if you have frequent stains such as baby food or pets. These are formulated to target specific types of stains, such as ink, red wine, oil, rust, or outdoor grub. The bottle design is really easy to use as it has a built-in nozzle, meaning you won't waste excessive product and can really rub it into the material without having to use your fingers. If you love a dinner party but hate the haphazard spills that can happen then having a Wine no more! spray bottle close by could be the extra party guest you never knew you needed. Containing no bleach or ammonia, we found the easy trigger bottle really easy to use and spray.In addition to its stain-removing properties, white vinegar also acts as an odour neutraliser. It can help eliminate unpleasant smells from clothes, especially those caused by sweat or mildew.
