Shaving Cream: miracle stain remover
A couple of months ago anne marie and I were at a party, when someone spilled some wine on the carpet. They quickly sprayed shaving cream on the stain and began rubbing it in with paper towells. To my surprise the stain was gone in a matter of seconds. I was reminded of this last night when we had some red wine spill on a white shirt. We sprayed a little shaving cream on it and rubbed it in. Within a few seconds… poof, the wine completely disappeared. You then just rinse the area with a little water. It’s actually quite amazing to see. We have found that the ‘foam’ kind works much better than the ‘gel’ variety.
