Stain Remover

For stains that don’t go away after trying other stain removers, here is what works for practically anything:

1. Heat up some water in a big pot on the stove. Make it hot, but not boiling.
2. Add 2 scoops of an oxygen base cleaner and a small squirt of liquid dish detergent.
3. Put the clothes in the pot and cover it with the lid.
4. Soak for 4-6 hours, or more if needed.
5. Wash clothes as usual in the washing machine.

Tip!  The generic brand of oxygen cleaner at the dollar store works just as well as OxyClean.  It’s the same thing.

 

I like that it doesn’t fade colors (but it wouldn’t hurt to test a small spot first, just to make sure).  It can remove the yellow storage stains from vintage linens.  It can even help to lighten perspiration stains.  I’m not kidding, I tried it.

Not sure who shared this with me.
