I would like to know if anyone knows how I can get set in stains out of my different colored blouse cuffs.

Thank you for your help.

Hi there, Stains on cuffs are a bit tricky but I have found 2 wonderful things to get out almost anything. One is a product called ZOTE. It is a bar of laundry soap may be purchased via ebay and might be found in your grocery. Another one is a degreaser in the automotive section at Wal-Mart. It comes in a purple gallon size container. It is awesome. These 2 products a little soak and elbow grease and poof, no stains. I use them on even my delicate headcoverings and they come out pristine WHITE!

Request: Stains on My Cuffs

Archived on 10/08/2007

I wear long sleve blouses that are 55% cotton and 45% polyester and the bottom of the cuffs are always getting stains on them that I cannot get out. Does anyone know if there is anything that will get them out?

Thank you for your help,

You could try an overnight soaking in a solution of powder dish washer detergent and water, about 1/2 cup to a bucket of water. This takes out a lot of stains for me. (05/23/2007)

If they are white I often take a Q-tip, dip it in bleach and just dab it on the individual stains. Then wash immediately.

I also have gotten in the habit of checking and using Stain-stick around cuffs and collars each time I wash them. It seems to be the best fresh stain remover on the market. (05/23/2007)

The dollar stores have some good fabric cleaners. You might try their LA's Totally Awesome Pre-Wash Stain Remover, 32 oz. spray bottle. Synthetic fibers are always tough to get stains out of. (05/25/2007)

Before he retired, I found that putting "GOJO" (or some other mechanics hand cleaner) on stains and let set for a while, then wash as usual,stains would wash out. (05/25/2007)

If white cloth, use Creme Perioxide for several hours or overnight JUST ON THE STAINS, then when removed, wash really well with warm soap/water.

If colored, I'd try WD 40 and then wash out with straight Ultra Dawn directly to the spots.

Good luck and God bless you. : ) (05/27/2007)
