Stains that we put on cloth napkins when dining can be cleaned off without difficulty with regular laundry detergents. Stains containing fat, such as those from steak, tend to persist in fabric. This hinders the stains from being washed out.

It's just like using dogs to catch fugitives. You have to have them smell clothing or anything else that was handled by the fugitive. Laundry detergents are like bloodhounds on a stain. The detergent and the water end up sinking their teeth into the stain. So the stain and the water get washed off together.

It's not hard to remove fatty stains. It's as easy as soaking the material in a little solution of soap and warm water. But read the laundry instruction tag at the outset to ensure that the fabric won't shrink if you place it in warm water.

There are some laundry detergents that fight protein enzymes. These essentially get rid of microbes so that the clothing will come out smelling like it came fresh from the factory. Microwaves are also handy for stain removal and fabric sanitizing.

Napkin stains are easy to spot. What most of us do not notice is what we drink with our steak dinners–red wine–that causes stains as well.

If oil is useful for a car motor, than red wine is useful for our heart. The French believe this so much that they drink red wine with everything. They seem to be the only people in the world who eat ridiculous amounts of fat without unpleasant consequences, owing to their great red wine consumption.

Consuming too much wine will not only trash your liver, but also leave permanent stains on your teeth. The tannins in the red wine (and coffee) cause this. Most everyone will end up with such stains, no matter what country we hail from.

Alas, when we start noticing the tooth stains, they probably already cover most of our teeth. Don't fret. We've got Wilkes-Barre dental veneers available in my office that will take care of any tooth stain. And what's more, you can enjoy plenty of red wine without being bothered about the idea of your teeth getting tarnished.
