# GBBO Winner Reveals 'Magic' Stain Remover Found in Your Own Kitchen

## Nancy Birtwhistle shared her four-ingredient solution for cleaning tea towel stains

Nancy Birtwhistle, the celebrated winner of The Great British Bake Off, recently unveiled her go-to method for eliminating stubborn stains from tea towels. This revelation came as she showcased her effective four-ingredient recipe designed to tackle kitchen messes. The demonstration illustrated how accessible and practical cleaning solutions can be using items likely already present in most households.

To perform the stain removal, Birtwhistle used a combination of vinegar, baking soda, washing-up liquid, and water. She explained that these simple ingredients work together to break down tough stains that often accumulate on kitchen cloths. The 71-year-old highlighted her approach, stating, "I've got a cloth here and no idea what these stains are. I've just taken it out of the drawer, and that's what it looked like, but I'm going to make a job of it. I'm going to add a few more [stains]."

The process begins by mixing the four components in a bowl. After applying the mixture to the stained areas of the fabric, Birtwhistle advised allowing it to soak for some time. Once the time has passed, the cloth can then be rinsed thoroughly, revealing a noticeable difference in cleanliness.

This handy tip not only provides an effective solution for maintaining kitchen textiles but also promotes the use of eco-friendly products. By utilizing common household items, Birtwhistle encourages the public to consider sustainable options for home cleaning.
