Make your own stain-fighting spray for the laundry! I put 1/2 a spray bottle full of Tide laundry detergent (Tide is awesome at fighting stains). Then, I put a little bit of Dawn dishwashing liquid and fill the rest with water. Shake it up, and there you have it - your very own stain-fighting spray! I think that this fights stains MUCH better than the stain-fighters that I buy in the stores.

When desperate lighter fluid works too. It's the same thing that dry cleaners use.

Do you use liquid Tide or powdered Tide, please?

Thanks!

Can't wait to try it!

You can now buy Tide with Dawn added to it. I have bought it and it works great.

Do you mean liquid Tide detergent, powder wouldn't make any sense? Thanks. My favorite stain remover and general house cleaner is 1/3 ammonia, 1/3 Pinesol, 1/3 water mixed in plastic bottle. It cleans everything for pennies, what a great combo. So much better than the commercial ones.

If you add some ammonia to that mix, it will work even better! I have been using this for years! I use 1/3 of each and a bit of Dawn. Also, if you really have lots of oily stains, use cheap shampoo in place of the lanudry detergent. Works wonders.
