If you have really really tough grease stains you can soak the clothes in a glass mixing bowl with water and a tablespoon of borax added. Make sure to thoroughly rinse the shirt afterwards. And avoid touching the Borax with your bare hands (though it's truly not very dangerous to touch as long as it washed off after, repeated long-term daily exposure can have side effects)
Thank you, this was so helpful. I'm curious if you have a way to get yellow stains out of white shirts, which I think comes from sweat or possibly washing with other colors?
do you take suggestions? I don't know if you've done it before but ways to get rid of blood stains? especially set in ones? (not for psycho reasons, I'm just a woman who struggles with laundry)
I add dawn dish soap to my washer all the time never have a problem it helps my laundry and dirt and oil stains food stains also use dawn in my dish washer when im out of dishwasher pods or powders it works in a pinch just dont over use
I have cleaned old blood from menstruation with a soap bar (a cheap one, those that are handed in hotels) and when that fails I have used bleach. If it is only a couple of days old, wetting the clothes for at least 10 min and then applying and rubbing with liquid soap does the trick.
I apologize if you did a video before but couldn't find anything. Do you have any tips or tricks to get oil/diesel/gas smell out of clothes? My husband is a trucker and the stains I gave up but no matter what the gas diesel smell is imbedded. I have never dealt with it more stubborn fragrance in a fabric
Soak it in a bowl of water with a table spoon of borax for like 30 min and thuroughly rinse, I've never tried it with coffee or chocolate stains, but borax is very good at cutting through stains from acidic things. Can't guarantee it will work but that's my best advice
I’m a glorified traveling mechanic. I have tried this on petroleum based stains that are on firehose fabric pants. No success with any home method yet.
