I washed and dried clothing with a chewing tobacco can unknowingly in the wash. Now all the cotton blend light colored clothes are stained. What will take these stains out now that they're dried?
I've had this happen before with clothing items (not tobacco stains though). I rewash everything adding about about a quarter cup of bleach in with a full load. It not only removes the stains, but surprisingly brightens but doesnt dull the colors. You can test one item at a time if you prefer, but since the clothes are unwearable at this point, what have you got to lose? Hope this helps.
more than once I have heard that homemade laundry detergent works. here is a recipe:
Homemade Laundry Detergent:
First Recipe: 3 Pints Water 1/3 bar Fels Naptha Soap, grated 1/2 cup Washing Soda (Arm and Hammer, NOT baking soda though!!) 1/2 cup 20 Mule Team Borax 2 Gallon bucket to mix it in 1 Quart hot water Hot Water Mix Fels Naptha soap in a saucepan with 3 pints hot water and heat on low until dissolved. Stir in Washing Soda and Borax. Stir until thickened, and remove from heat. Add 1 Quart Hot Water to 2 gallon Bucket. Add soap mixture, and mix well. Fill bucket with hot water, and mix well. Set aside for 24 hours, or until mixture thickens. Use 1/2 cup of mixture per load.
