HELP me get out stains PLEASE!!!!!!!!

[rainbowfairymomma]

Ok I swear almost ALL of my maternity clothes now have stains on them :
I have tried the spray and wash stuff but it totally doesn't do ANYTHING! (I've washed this one shirt no joke 6 times!!!) I use Trader Joes washing powder but I need something that will get out these stains. (I don't think its anything crazy, just chocolate, tomato sauce etc...) I do not care if its natural I just want them gone!!!!

I soak all of my stained stuff in a bucket of oxi-clean and water overnight...sometimes 24 hours, then hot cycle with an extra rinse. It gets everything out. For really stubborn or set in stains, doing this ritual 2 or 3 times has worked.

thanks mama do you soak it in hot water?

[IansMommy]

Warm water.

[rileysmommy]

try some biokleen oxygen bleach.... sprinkle it on the stain( after already having it damp..) them spray it with spray and wash, wet all the biokleen powder. rub aroudn a little bit with your finger, let set for about 10 minutes. then launder.

i like the biokleen oxygen bleach better then the oxyclean brand.. but both will work ( i just had oxyclean actually make light spots on a few things..)

Bac Out works wonders. Made by BioKleen. Gets all the poop stains out of my dipes - and those are some of the hardest stains to nix!

Anything work on chocolate after it has gone through the dryer?

I have had good luck using a stain pretreat I make with equal parts ammonia, Dan dish soap, & water. I sometimes work borax in it after I have sprayed that on.

Yup, Oxi-Clean. I will moisten the dried on stain, pour straight OxiClean on it, pile it on and drip more water on it, just enough to moisten and make it into a paste. (hot water, usually, it dissolves the OxiClean better) I will leave that sitting beside the washer for 24-72 hours, really, and I'd say that every organic stain that I have ever dried on and treated like that, has come out.

OxiClean doesn't work on non-washable paints though...I have learned that.

I totally agree with this, have done it many times (with hot water in the bucket at first, to dissolve the OxiClean better) I only use hot cycles on white loads, though. I will do the soaking for 24 hours or more on tough stains, I have been known to forget about it for days and it hasn't damage any of the clothes I've tried it on. Perhaps I've been lucky??

Try Gonzo. It gets out everything. Seriously. Don't know how bio-friendly it is, but it works and doesn't leave a bleached out spot.

[baileyandmikey]
