Chalk as a Spot Remover

I use corn starch. I keep a little jar full in my laundry room and put on stains as I put into the laundry basket. Works wonders.

I used plain baking soda on some grease spots on my new white livingroom furniture. Just sprinkled it on & let it set for a day or so. Then vacuumed it away & the spots were gone. Worked very good.

The Janie Stick is what I have always used and with great results.
There many places to order online, I just posted a link to one of them.

Have you tried tailors chalk? That is very soft as it is used to mark fabric for cutting out and sewing so it is very soft.
Get it from the haberdashers or sewing store.

Thank you so much for this tip, I am going to take a few of the sidewalk chalk pieces that the kids have and put it in the laundry room! I am wondering if this would help, on the Gulf situation with the oil. Thank you again for this tip, I am voting on it, because I would never have thougt of it in a million years, and I can start using it right now!

I have always used cornstarch in the same manor. Really helps in a pinch when you discover the spot at the last minute and no time to relaunder....especially on my son's shirts.

Baby powder works for this too, grease spots I mean. I keep a container for right away grease spots, not older ones. Works pretty well but I always do Greased Lightening or Simple Green too,
