Hardened spots are the most resistant. Against them, you can use two acids at once - acetic and oxalic. On the glass take the one and the other 5 grams. The solution is heated, put the affected thing in it for 3 hours. Spots are "painted off" and turn pale.
From ordinary table vinegar and salt cook gruel without water. Smear her spot for 20 minutes. After that, stretch the clothes in warm water. For thin and delicate fabrics, an acid can be too dangerous a substance. Here you can advise to prepare a solution: liquid soap, glycerin, water in equal proportions. Spots soaked with the composition for a day. Then gently wash the subject of your wardrobe with the addition of powder.
