To remove sweat stains from hats, pre-treat the stain with a paste of 4 tablespoons of baking soda and ¼ cup of cool water, scrubbing the mixture gently into the stain and/or sweatband with a soft toothbrush. Let the mixture sit for 1-2 hours, then rinse and hand-wash the hat with water and a mild detergent.

How can I clean suede shoes without damaging them?
I love my suede shoes and wear them everywhere, but I recently noticed that they're looking a little dingy and have a couple small stains on them. I've heard that washing them or using water is a big no-no, but I don't know what I can use then. What are my options to make my shoes look like new?

How do I get blood out of my carpet?
A friend of mine had an absolutely massive nosebleed in my living room last night. I was kind of too tired to bother trying to clean it up at the time, but I’m uhhh…regretting that decision right now. It’s completely dried up now. What can I do to get the stain out of the carpet? I really don’t want to have to buy a brand new carpet.
