Prevention: As I described in the previous post, check for the possibility of dye bleed before plunging anything into your wash water. In vintage fabric, you will find heat-set blood stains, and sadly, they are most likely there to stay. Don’t expose a protein stain to warm water, iron, or dryer or you will set the stain in. While blood and other protein stains (egg, dairy products, sweat, and urine are also in this category) are relatively easy to remove, they will be permanent if exposed to heat. If you have any doubts, take the item to your (trusted) dry cleaner. Although not usually a problem with any sturdy, washable, and wearable vintage item, delicate washable pieces probably should not be soaked with an enzyme product or hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide, in the 3% solution that you can find at any drug store, or as the key ingredient in oxygen bleach, is an excellent blood stain remover as well, even working on dried, older stains.
The enzyme protease (found in these products) is very effective at getting out protein stains. The next step with any sufficiently sturdy washable item is to soak the garment in cold water with an enzyme product, which can be a detergent with enzymes, an oxygen bleach with enzymes, or a pre-treatment product. As soon as you can, hold the stain under cold running water, which can sometimes get most of a fresh stain out. It’s easiest to remove a blood stain when it’s still fresh-before it gets a chance to dry. Prevention: Obviously, blood is not the sort of thing you can often prevent. That said, as a last resort, a permanent marker of the closest possible color might be used to fill in a tiny light spot. Yes, bleach can be used to remove spots on certain fabrics (mainly sturdy white 100% cotton), but it must be used with caution around almost any other fabric. With chlorine bleach, it’s ALL about prevention. Prevention: Bleached spots obviously cannot be reversed, so be very careful to contain any splashes and spills. Lift off any of the stain from the surface of the fabric (say with a spoon or butter knife), then blot the stain with a dry cloth. Do not use an iron or a hot dryer on a stain, as you are likely to heat-set the stain and make it difficult or impossible to remove. If you have a fresh stain, treat it as quickly as possible. If you are anything like me, you need to have a few stain removal tricks up your sleeve (perhaps for the spots on your sleeve!). Those are the first steps, stains are the next step. In my previous posts in this series, I covered the essentials of fabric identification, and washing/cleaning basics. That said, here is what I can at least conditionally recommend for common stains in washable vintage clothing. (Have I said it before? About starting out with vintage in excellent condition? I thought so.) The Mustang specialist, who regularly includes the iconic car brand on her social media, introduces her mechanic persona via her bio, one telling fans she’s “just a glam girl wrenching in a boy’s world.” The star was actually just 16 when she got her first Mustang, now running her own Cars by Constance shop in Murrieta, CA.Old stains are usually not very easy to budge. “ Christmas time in California 🎄☀️ If you could spend Christmas anywhere in the world, where would you go? As much as i HATE the cold, I’d love to do one Christmas in New York driving a little red Mustang around like I’m Santa haha #constancenunes.” She added: “Also pretty sure I’m the only model at my agency who’s backdrop is their garage but it’s honestly the best lighting in my house posts from Nunes aren’t too frequent, but the star did manage to delight her fans around Christmas 2020, posting from a sandy beach and clad in a pink two-piece, this time joking about Santa as she wrote:
“When your agent says it’s time for new digitals and you laugh to yourself knowing your quarantine bod has been fueled by whiskey and lifting car parts 😅.”
The girl who comes with muscles and curves also comes complete with humor. Wearing a tiny pair of patterned bikini bottoms and a plunging, halterneck black bikini top, the stunner wowed with pouting lips and her long curled hair down, also posing in clear perspex heels and offering a double dose via a swipe right. The photo, below, came with the C.A.-born star posing with her legs crossed and not hiding much. A post shared by Constance Nunes Nunes Shows Off ‘Whisky’ Bod
