Nur : I’m not in a good mood today. My white shirt is
stained. I think it’s better to use it for a cloth or
something.
Nayla : No! Don’t do that. Try my hints. First, put a paper
towel under the stain. Then, spray the stain with hair
spray. After that, rub the stain gently with a clean cloth.
Continue rubbing until the stain is completely gone
Nur : Are you sure?
Nayla : Positive! I’ve already tried this tip several times
and it works for me.
