Removing Stains from Socks

RE: Removing Stains from Socks Post by monali51 (4) | (07/23/2008) Profile | Contact My Son plays Football. I use 409 spray for general cleaning on his clothes and socks. Spray before you wash, let it set for 15 minutes and wash as you normally do. 409 is great for spot cleaning stains on all your clothes, carpet, etc. I have used it for YEARS! Also 409 is great to clean white sneakers. I learned about 409 when a friend told me how to get a coffee stain out of a silky yellow blouse, AFTER I had already washed and dried it. I was very skeptical, but I sprayed it, throwed it right in the wash and almost fainted when I took it out of the washer and it was GONE! i Learned this in 1981. I use it everytime I get a stain in my clothes, carpet, or my GRANDKIDS clothes...Sometimes I just squirt some in the wash machine in the water...with the regular washing solutions for an extra cleaning boost....

In fact my stepson asked me to tell his mow what to use as she asked if they were the same socks. She could not believe they were white again.

I was watching The View one day and Whoopi was talking about always wearing white socks at home and she found that Spray & Wash Dual Power kept her socks white. I tried it and have been amazed. You can also just pour some onto the load of clothes before washing and it will help the whole load be it color or white look so much brighter.

What I do-- Start a stainy white load with a good splash of bleach; after it agitates a few times, I shut it off & piddle around the laundry room for about 5-15 minutes to let it work; as I leave the room, I start it up again. So they get to soak for a few minutes. BTW, store brands are not as effective as Chlorox--EXCEPT the brand sold at ALDI grocery store has worked great for me! In a nutshell, from my experience, ANY stain must be soaked in order to remove it. Only fresh, minor stains or those 'oil' type stains come out with those convenient, quick shot sprays like Spray 'n Wash, etc. Most other stains, you really have to give a little attention & work on.

Just put water in a bucket, add the cascade and soak overnight. Then when you are ready to wash just dump the whole thing in the washer. It was said that it works.

If you have hard water, even bleach will not help with whites, but don't dispair, find yourself a white dye for clothing and dye your socks. Works wonders.
