I often get stains on my shirt from drinking coffee or chocolate drink. This happens when I'm in a hurry. A friend suggested that I soak the cloth in cold soft water in which a little borax (which I can't find)has been dissolved. After soaking a short time, pour boiling water over the stain, letting the stained part stay in the water for a time.
Do you have other suggestions on how to remove stains? Not only of coffee but also ink?

Maybe you can try removing those stains by putting calamansi, a dwarf citrus fruit after you put hot water on your clothes.

Have you tried squeezing the juice of a lemon over the stain, keeping it for about half an hour and then washing it with soap powder as usual. Some say the use of petrol over the stain really helps but I have not tried and I don't know how bad it would smell after the wash. But the lemon is worth a try.
