I had a bad episode this weekend where every item of clothing on my body ended up soaked in very wet cow manure and mud...don't ask, it's not a nice story. Just picture this slightly plump old woman sprawled out about 20 feet from a fairly busy road yelling her head off and crying loudly. Anyway, I washed everything in very hot water with regular detergent and vinegar and all the mud and stuff came right out.

Iron Out, it is found in the plumbing section of the grocery store. I used it all the time when my son played ball, because we have "red clay" here in Alabama.

You can wet them, then pour detergent on them and scrub with a toothbrush. However my boys told me not to get theirs too clean because it made it look like they didn't get to play much.

Add some bleach in a spray bottle, spray spots, Give a second wash should be gone. Also add bleach & detergent on second wash. (08/16/2006)

RE: Mud Stains on Clothing

Good Luck I had on a white t shirt when my doggie jumped on me leaving muddy paw prints all over and it was red clay mud. I washed shirt immediately pre treating it and with bleach also. Well I still have the shirt with the paw prints and at least 4 people have asked where I got the cute shirt! (08/17/2006)

I have a pair of white polyester, rayon and spandex dress pants. They have a set-in mud stain that I cannot get out.
