Red Dirt Stains on Clothing

RE: Red Dirt Stains on Clothing Post By Becki in Indiana (Guest Post) (09/07/2006) Don't know if this product is still on the market, but back when my son was in Little League, you could purchase a liquid, color-safe "bleach" called Vivid. It came in a bright yellow pastic bottle. I would pre-treat with that, rub it in with an old toothbrush and let it sit for awhile (overnight if possible), then wash. It worled like a charm!

Sometimes if they dry first or go through dryer before you catch it it sets in.

A women who's boys played softball on a red dirt field in western NC told me that "she never had a problem getting any of the red clay out of their uniforms". Convinced me (my husband works on hydrolic machinery with lots of oil) so I bought some, used it AND LOVE IT! I promise you will too! Forget about borax, forget about clorox buy this instead...you'll never go back to them again!

But now that oxyclean has a laundry additive, I would give that a try. I recently bought some and tried it and it has removed old stains, not red dirt, I haven't tried it on that as of yet. Hope this helps. Tina RE: Red Dirt Stains on Clothing Post by Sucan (1) | (09/04/2006) Contact I always used a bar of plain bath soap to remove red dirt from my son's ball uniforms.
