Homemade Stain Remover for Clothing

RE: Homemade Stain Remover for Clothing Post By Janette (Guest Post) (07/18/2008) I tried the pre-spotter: 1 c. Dawn, 1 c. ammonia, 2 c. water. It works well, but if you leave it on clothes it leaves an outline, but re-washing removed all outline marks. Overall I think it worked well, but beware like advised on the posting, to wash immediately. Cheap stuff to make!

It's better than Shout or Spray & Wash! Don't like the smell of ammonia? Don't worry, the smell will disapate. I make a large batch in an old bleach bottle & refill spray botle as needed.

It also works on sap after scrapping off the excess. I would test a corner of your shirt. I do think WD-40 has a color to it. After the grease comes out, rewash the shirts in just laundry soap before drying. I was told if you don't you might have a fire hazard with your dryer.

It got an enormous poop stain out of my newborn daughters outfit. YOu know how that is. I just kept spraying it every day, and it kept getting lighter and lighter until it finally disappeared. I can only find it at Family dollar and I think Dollar general. But it's NOT the same as Oxi clean. It usually works much better. I use it on my carpet too and it works great!

Personally, it has gotten out stains that were several years old in hand me down kids clothing. Pour Chlorox II powdered bleach into a small bowl and add just enough Dove dish detergent to make a gritty, runny paste. You will be able to feel the dish heat up. Spoon this mixture onto the stain and let it sit until it dries (It may take 2-3 days). Wash as usual. This has worked for me many times when all else has failed. The only problem is now I am having a hard time locating Dove dishwashing liquid at the grocery store.

I work in a automotive place and I wear white uniform shirts. I usually get black marker stains, oil and rust stains on my shirt. I have tried oxyclean and it does not take it all out and I have tried orange clean and it does not take it out. Could you please help me?

They all swear by it. It sounds like it might work for what you need! Homemade stain remover: Mix in a large tub: 1 c. Clorox 2 powder 1 c. Cascade powder 7 to 14 quarts HOT water Soak clothes in mixture for 6 to 24 hours. This mixture may take out the color in dark items, so be careful! (/b) By Laura N "awesome stain remover" 04/15/2005 There is a no-name brand of stain remover that you can buy at Family Dollar. It is in a white spray bottle that says "awesome stain remover" on the bottle. Me and all of my friends (having 13 kids total) swear by it! By noemoshunz ElectroSol dishwasher detergent 04/15/2005 I gave up on Oxi-Clean for my own personal use. Didn't care for it, especially for the price! I was turned on to using Powdered ElectroSol dishwasher detergent by a friend of mine, and have never looked back. She told me it was very effective on grass stains, and infield dirt and boy was it ever! Just for a little extra help, I sometimes spray a little Shout on the stains, but a good pour of the powdered crystals into a washer for a presoak (I usually leave mine overnight) takes out everything I have had to deal with so far. I'm guessing its because of the degreasers and stuff in the detergent. It makes a world of difference with white baseball pants. Can't hurt to try it, if you're not getting the stains out now. Good luck! By mrsmutt Dry Dishwasher Detergent 05/17/2005 To get stains out of clothes, use some dry dishwasher detergent on the spots. By Gail Crawford Awesome 08/23/2005 There is a carpet cleaner from the dollar tree called Awesome and it got stains and ink out of my clothes! By jacki O (Guest Post) RE: Tough Stain Removal For Clothing 04/02/2006 The best stain remover that is out on the market is called Lestoil. Its smells pretty bad but even old stains will usually come out. Pour some on the stain and then I use a old toothbrush to rub it in. Walmart sometimes has it or here in Canada our Canadian tire stores carry it. This stuff really works..... By Donna (Guest Post) Report Spam or Abuse
