What to do when you’re traveling and you spill mayonnaise from your sandwich, or drip butter from your lobster tail on your clothing; carry a small baggie of white flour and mix it into a paste with water, apply to the stain, let dry and scrape off. Now no one is going to pack bleach so what about stains that need a little lift? Lemons are easy to come by when traveling, order an ice tea with lemon on the side and pull out one of your extra plastic bags you always pack to transport it back to your hotel. Squeeze a little lemon jouice on the spot and if possible let it dry in the sun then hand wash. I also never leave home without my Tide To-Go pen, but Shout is just as good. I also just learned about Grandma’s Secret Spot Remover which comes in 2 ounce bottles and can be bought at Walgreens or most craft stores and is said to work on all types of stains, which could save you from the baggie of flour being mistaken for something else by TSA.
Always pack a travel wardrobe that hand washes, no time for dry cleaners when you're city hopping. Also, I try to keep my color palate on the darker side, even tan is better than white.
