Stain Remover For Set-In Stains |
|
|
I used the following method to get out some set-in stains (red jello and spaghetti sauce mashed in and dried in the dryer, other unidentifiable stains noticed after clothes were dried.)
Make a paste out of Shout gel (or your favorite stain remover or detergent) and baking soda. Scrub this on stain with a firm toothbrush until as much is gone as possible with scrubbing. Then splash on a little white vinegar and let it foam for a couple minutes. Rinse with water as hot as is safe for fabric. Pretreat again with a little more stain remover or detergent and toss into regular wash cycle immediately.
This saved several of my toddler's outfits.

Will apple cider vinegar work instead of white vinegar?

I used the Shout/baking powder paste followed by vinegar method on a red jello stain - worked great. I would also recommend doing a double wash on stains (catch your machine before it starts the rinse cycle and set it back to wash again).
Tthe sooner you can get to a stain, the better!

Ahh, Thank you so much. This really worked. I didn't even have the vinegar and it worked on a stain that went through the wash twice.

Lynn,
My daughter came in from school yesterday with her brand new pale pink blouse spotted with apple that had turned brown. I tried your method (it took three times) but it almost completely removed the stain! Thanks so much!
