So, to help all the cleaning fans out there, cleaning and laundry experts, Dr. Beckmann has identified the top stains that are bound to occur this bank holiday and how to banish them.

Dr. Beckmann spokesperson, Chloe Baker said: “The new King deserves a toast, and no British bank holiday would be complete without a glass of refreshing wine! If you experience an unfortunate spillage, remember to blot the alcohol with a cloth until the majority of the liquid is absorbed. After sponging with cold water, use a stain remover like Dr. Beckmann’s Carpet Stain Remover – the UK’s number one – to break up the remaining stain.

“A bank holiday BBQ is a classic tradition, burgers, hot dogs and halloumi scream summer is near. However, setting up your BBQ can often be tricky and charcoal soot seems to get everywhere. If you find yourself with a mark, lightly dab the stain with cool water mixed with normal washing up liquid. Then, pop your clothes into the washing machine with your go to laundry detergent.

“Condiments are an essential part of any BBQ, so sauce stains are inevitable. Whether it’s ketchup, mayonnaise, or barbecue, the best way to treat a greasy condiment stain is to remove any excess from the affected area and run the mark under cold water. Finally, blot the stain lightly with white vinegar and place the item on a standard washing cycle.

“If you’re getting your glad rags on this bank holiday, make sure your clothes are getting the proper wash they deserve.
