Get Nicotine From Clothing

Remove nicotine stains with items you have at home.


If you are a smoker or you live with one, you probably have nicotine stains on your clothes. A nicotine stain appears yellow or brown and may leave behind a lingering odor. If you do not treat the stain immediately, it can become difficult to remove completely. Instead of purchasing commercial products to remove the stain, you can treat it at home to save money.


Instructions


1. Combine 1/2 tsp. liquid laundry detergent with 1 qt. warm water in a 1-gallon bucket. Add 1/2 cup vinegar and stir slowly to keep the detergent from forming suds.


2. Soak the clothing in the bucket for 15 to 30 minutes so the detergent can penetrate the nicotine stains.


3. Remove the clothing from the bucket and wring out the excess water.


4. Soak a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol. Blot the nicotine stain with rubbing alcohol, and then launder it according to the care label.


5. Remove the clothing from the washer. Repeat the stain removal process if you still notice it; otherwise place the clothing in the dryer or hang it up to dry.
