My mother had some great chalk spot remover, which I inherited. But I am running out and have been wondering how to replace it. Somewhere I saw that you could use ordinary playground chalk for similar spot cleaning (great for grease spots). You apply the chalk, it absorbs the grease, and you can just dust it off. I picked up some sidewalk chalk at my last visit to the 99 cent Store. It's not quite as soft, but I think it will do.

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,
