Use a small spot of bleach on a section that can be hidden and if you get a good result, then wash the bed spread in a solution of bleach and washing solution
doing just that section may result in a 2 tone white spread
search --- removing stains from white material-- may also result in other better ideas

SOURCE: front loading washer leaves stains

This often is called "lint" but is really a "whiting" left by un-dissolved soap and can be seen at it's worst on dark colored clothes. This is made worse in a colder climate where the cold water entering the washer is much colder than normal. Things that can effect the quality of the finished washed products.
Too much soap: ( we have a test for this further down the page ) If you follow the manufactures instructions on the box, then chances are you ARE using too much soap. They like to sell you their product, I find cutting usage in 1/2 of what the box says will still wash good and also cut your chances of getting "whiting" on your clothes.

SOURCE: self-cleaning leaves a brown stain on the white part on my oven

Perhaps the door gasket is not sealing well enough. In self clean mode the oven get very hot and vaporizes the fat off the sides. With a leak I think some of the fat is redepositing on on the outside where the leak is. You may need a new door seal.

SOURCE: Stains on clothes after washing

This sounds like the infamous "Frigidaire Flaw" (they make some of GE's washers). The likely culprit is that the bearings on the drum's spindle are leaking.

To diagnose, call a repair man, or pull it out and remove the back cover. If you see brown streaks from the center spindle - that's it.

Repair is cheap if you can do the work yourself (inner and outer bearings), but $300+ for a technician

SOURCE: My Washing machine stains clothes;

I had the same problem, and it turns out that it is NOT the seal. It is the liquid fabric softener. The fabric softener dispenser needs to be cleaned periodically or it gets a black waxy, goopy, build up. It is this same buildup that ends up staining your clothes with dark brown or black stains. Just remove the dispenser and wash it our very well and the problem will be gone.

How to clean white shoes properly?

Cleaning white shoes can help maintain their appearance and keep them looking fresh. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to clean white shoes properly:



Materials you'll need:



1. Mild soap or detergent

2. Soft brush or toothbrush

3. White vinegar or baking soda (optional)

4. Water

5. Clean cloth or sponge

6. Old newspapers or paper towels

Steps:



1. Remove Loose Dirt:



Knock your shoes together or use a brush to remove loose dirt and debris. You can also use a soft cloth to wipe away any surface dirt.



2. Remove Laces:



Take off the shoelaces. You can either clean them separately or replace them if they are too dirty or worn.



3. Pre-treat Stains:



If there are stubborn stains, pre-treat them with a mixture of water and a small amount of mild soap or detergent. You can also use a paste made from baking soda and water for tougher stains.



4. Soak Laces:



If you removed the laces, soak them in a mixture of warm water and mild soap. You can also add a bit of baking soda or white vinegar to help with stains. After soaking, scrub them with a brush or toothbrush, rinse, and let them air dry.



5. Wash Shoes:



Mix warm water with a small amount of mild soap or detergent. Use a soft brush or toothbrush to scrub the shoes gently. Pay extra attention to stained or dirty areas. Be careful not to use a brush with stiff bristles, as it may damage the shoe material.



6. Rinse Thoroughly:



Wipe off any soap or detergent with a clean, damp cloth or sponge. Make sure to remove all residue.



7. Dry Properly:



Stuff your shoes with crumpled newspaper or paper towels to help them retain their shape and absorb moisture. Let them air dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the shoes to yellow.



8. Clean Soles:



Clean the soles of your shoes separately. You can use an old toothbrush or a small brush to scrub away dirt and grime. A mixture of water and mild soap or a specialized sole cleaner can be effective.



9. Protect and Maintain:



Consider applying a stain and water repellent spray to protect your white shoes from future stains. Regularly clean your shoes to prevent dirt buildup.



10. Polish (for Leather Shoes):



If your white shoes are made of leather, you can use a white shoe polish to restore their shine. Make sure to follow the instructions on the polish container.

Remember, prevention is key. Try to avoid wearing your white shoes in muddy or extremely dirty conditions, and clean them regularly to keep them looking their best.

How do I remove light brown hair permanent colour from a white leather lounge. Did it yesterday?

Try Squeezing toothpaste onto the stain, then scrub lightly with a soft bristled brush, then wipe off. Dab acetone-free nail polish remover onto ink dye stain with a cotton ball or wipe, and rub to remove the stain. Spray aerosol hairspray onto the stain and rub off with a damp cloth, rubbing until the stain starts to fade.

I have off-white stains/residue on the metal parts of my shower door. I've tried vinegar and all typse of bathroom cleaners. I cannot remove the stain. It's driving me nuts. Does anyone know what the stain...

white residue could be lime deposits from the minerals in your water,or corrosion if metal is aluminum. try CLR cleaner for lime deposits,use a piece of aluminum foil,'crunched' into a ball & dipped in water to remove corrosion,followed by polishing with an automotive type chrome/metal polish.
