Simply combine one part white vinegar with one part crystal soda, put warm water in a shaker bottle and spray the stain on.

Hot chocolate

Another popular drink, especially with kids, is hot chocolate, but it can also leave a big mess if the fabric gets stained.

Deyan advises you to wipe the stain with paper towels first and then collect the dishwasher.

He said, "Hot chocolate can sometimes be difficult to remove, especially if the stain is embedded in the fibers of clothing.

"Start by dabbing the stain with paper towels. Then add dish soap to the stain.

Wine is another Christmas dinner staple, but we all know how difficult it can be to clean up, especially the warm version.

Deyan says it's one of the "most difficult stains to remove" and can leave a "dark brown residue that can also leave an especially strong odor".

He says if you spill this festive drink you should act quickly and not toss it in your laundry basket.

Deyan said, "The most important thing here is to go quickly! Don't leave the item in the wash tub as this means the stain will dry out and be difficult to remove.

"Immediately put some white wine vinegar on the stain and wipe it off with a kitchen towel or paper towel. Then add a drop of detergent with a warm cloth. Finally, add baking powder and a little more white vinegar.

"The place should be much better. The article can now be put in the washing machine. ""

If you have something on your couch that you unfortunately can't do while washing, Deyan recommends using warm water and a washcloth.

He added, "Wet the cloth with water and apply white vinegar to the stain directly on the sofa. Then simply apply the vinegar with a warm, damp cloth.

"This will remove the stain from the sofa and once the sofa has dried the vinegar smell will evaporate."
