On the camera its much easier to see, i was able to see the chocolate stain on all of them with exception of the stain resistant one. Would like to see this on motor oil, grease, grass clippings, rust, charcoal and mayonnaise. Thanks for another great video!
Definitely couldn’t agree more with the second choice of stains since I work in the landscaping industry wife is constantly yelling at me for my clothes
I think an interesting addition to the next round would be some automotive grade stain removers. I use Tuff Stuff all the time on carpets and it's pulled some serious stains out. Never tried it on clothes tho.
the ONE thing I miss from the USA, Tuff Stuff. That stuff was awesome. I had an 89 Astro Van back in like 2001-2005 or around there. I had chocolate milk spilled in the middle row carpet, it was there for at least a year or more, it smelled VERY bad. nothing would help. I bought Tuff Stuff and that took it right away. Man i wish I could have some of that again here.
The mustard “stain” isn’t a stain. Mustard has quite a bit of distilled vinegar in it, which is an acid. The fibers are discolored, not stained. You would have to hit it with an oxidizing agent (borax, hydrogen peroxide, chlorinated bleach, etc.) to cover the acid discoloration.
@@chedsd2clips465 Regular 'stains' just stain the fibers, which can be removed easily, whereas mustard discolors the fibers completely. Think of it like tossing Ketchup at a wall and removing it vs throwing a layer of paint at the wall
I've never used stain remover, I've always found detergent alone removes the majority of stains without issue. I don't like mustard so don't need to worry about that stain.
But what if you find yourself in the middle of a food fight and they are flinging hotdogs? Always stay one step ahead with some stain remover knowledge.
You can definitely see the stains more clearly on camera. I'll also wash/Rinse any stained clothing first, so the stain removers/detergents can act more directly on the stain and not have to "work" through the buildup.
You know, in these cleaning videos, there is another option you haven't tried: steam cleaning. I recently got a steam cleaner that I use for cleaning my air fryer for like $60 but the one I really wanted was a couple hundred but that one did NOT have the steam pipe going directly under the handle and as such, not right through your hand so no worry of getting hot handle after long use.
@@purrfectsld2122 Maybe try one of those steam cleaners like I said? Otherwise, I would say check with a local pet shop. They might have something in stock that would be perfect.
You should test the Magic Cut knife. I don’t think you have before but it explicitly states you can grind it on a cinder block and it won’t lose its edge. Thought of you as soon as I saw it haha!
My wife and I just rub the stain with some of our regular detergent prior to running the regular wash cycle. We let it sit for 10-15 mins before actually washing. It has always worked better than the stain removing products for us. This may be the same effect as the presoak but I can testify to it working great! Keep up the entertaining videos!
Remember the snake oil that is stain removers are just a detergent.. rub some washing up liquid on them instead ( dish soap) and that will work just as good. As for the shirt it will be Teflon coated but it washes off eventually and they are great school uniform shirts for kids.
I don’t think it is Teflon coated, as Teflon isn’t known for flexibility. Also, Teflon isn’t exactly hydrophobic. It is more accurately water impervious. The way the liquids acted it was a hydrophobic coating. Likely along the lines of static attached polyester or silicon.
I was a Mechanic for many years and the best thing I found was use liquid Tide, rub it in the stain, let it sit for 20 mins, wash it and it always got my stains out. Great video as always.
You need to add grass stains to the list I would consider it a common stain (kids who like to play outside) also would like to see possibly motor oil for all the mechanics out there. And maybe tattoo ink got to make these stains tougher if they came out just doing a pre soak
Used to work as a mechanic and old boss talked to me about when they had white uniforms back in the day they guys would just spray brake clean through the shirts to clean them so i think that would be a cool comparison considering your past as a diesel mechanic.
I want to make note that this us coming from experience. Between working at a scrap yard getting all greasy and grimy to working at restaurants getting food splatters and so on . Between simple green and dawn dish soap and got water it gets pretty much anything out of your clothes. And best thing is about simple green is it's a concentrate so if you water it down as instructed on label the cost is far cheaper than these other stain removers. A bottle of simple green is about $5-$7 depending where you get it and will make several spray bottles , in compared to a single spray bottle of stain removal for about the same cost . Also it is environment friendly as well , if you mix the simple green in spray bottle with about 3 tablespoons of dawn dish soap and rest with water you are golden
Great Video! I would like to see you test these on car grease (The ugly stuff scraped from an engine block and from tie rod ends) , Texclad 3 (33% graphite) grease, 90 wt gear grease, oil base paint, latex base paint (Both paints need to be dry before testing), red clay (earth clay, not kiddy clay), and cooking grease.
Purple power, dawn and straight detergent concoction woth get that car grease out. Cooking grease use platinum dawn. Probably work on the others too. My ex was a mechanic and roofer. The concoction above got roof tar out of his clothes and 6 day caked on car grease from doing everything from tranny swaps to oil changes. His hands stayed black but hos. Clothes were sparkling clean from me washing them.
So for the shirts why didn't you wipe off the residual stain liquids before applying the cleaners? Of course they're not going to work as well as they could when there's still globs of the substance on. If someone got those quantities of substance in their own clothes, they would of course wipe off the excess before washing.
That could be dangerous. It could make a toxic cloud. I know some cleaning chemicals make mustard gas if mixed accidently. I can't remember the exact ones though.
@@kingpeepsexoticcreatureoub8762 that's bleach and ammonia. Which you aren't likely to find in stain removers. Although never a good idea to mix household cleaners as there could be reactions. I doubt stain removers would cause any reactions because they mostly have surfactants and enzymes.
Just thumbin' through RU-vid, mindin' my own business, and WHAM!! There it was...Some hairy little kid in his Mom's garage trynna' wreck stuff. Started watchin' it and it was just hilarious! Thanks alot, little dude.
You're right, but the fact that even if you're a dumbass that lets a stain soak in, you can just wash it and get the stain out with ease is also impressive on its own.
That's not what was advertised. It was advertised to simply not absorb it in the first place. "Sliding right off" so to speak. Though I do agree that letting it sit for a day was probably a bit much, and there's not a lot of fabrics that would deal with that. Especially not against really acidic stains.
@@point-five-oh6249 there’s nothing in the phrase “stain resistant” that implies it doesn’t absorb at all. If anything it implies exactly what happened here: it won’t stain immediately but if you leave it, it might.
Seems like stain remover is like a more localized presoak so if you have something that doesn't hold up well to multiple washings then maybe the stain remover would be useful
You should do a video for all the mechanics out there and test the myths of removing oil/grease stains! Would be a very helpful video! I’ve heard of simple green, dawn dish soap, and diesel then soap just to give a few!
Just an FYI, just because the ingredients don't sound natural doesn't mean they are inherently unnatural. Example: - Hydroxycinnamic - Caffeoylquinic - Coumaroylquinic - Procyanidins - Dihydrochalcones - Anthocyanins Those all sound like terrible chemicals you would never want to ingest but surprise surprise, those are some of the chemical components of.......an apple.
Mustard is so hard to remove because mustard doesnt stain in the traditional sense. It has everything in it necessary to be classified as a permanent dye. Including a _very_ potent chemical known for vibrant colors.
Many people already commented on the fact that you can see other stains besides mustard. So, did anyone else notice it looked like he washed the shirts and then balled them up to dry, how did you get that many wrinkles / creases in those shirts? 😁
Loud bang. Everyone in the neighbourhood "What's Tyler up to now?" Tyler in his garage playing with T-shirts and condiments "wh..what was that?" If Tyler is worried then everyone should be worried
Hmm that must be a coincidence because I don’t think the color alone can have much of an effect on the difficulty to remove..right? If you think about it there’s not really many yellow liquids in existence to stain clothes. Pretty much just mustard and of course urine so could easily be coincidence that those are both hard to remove substances
The only purpose for stain removers is that they often double for spot treatments like on carpets or upholstery where normal detergent would be impossible to rise out well
From what i have learned with stain remover, laundry soap, and dishwasher soaps. It all depends on your water supply. For instance where I live Cascade works better than jet dry
Tyler we use Era detergent on stains, and wash stuff with a regular load laundry detergent. When my son was about 18 months old he managed to get an entire bottle of red food coloring all over a new suit. I soaked the suit in Era and washed it the next day and there was no sign of the red dye ever being there. It's never failed us yet.
"Everything else is gone but the mustard!" Except massive stains from the red wine and chocolate in some cases. I guess our definitions of "gone" are different.
Charlie's soap. Run a soak, then a wash. Then lay the clothes or whatever outside while still wet (after the wash) and let the sun take the stains out. Works GREAT!
Try tomato sauce , butter, veg oil, olive oil etc. Pre soaks don't always cut it. Add dawn dish soap as 1 of your pre treaters. Good with oil type stains.
you should do a comparison test of mosquito repellant devices as we head into the summer months. I definitely have fallen victim to some pretty crappy devices
The stain sprays are essential supposed to be used like pre soak. You spray them on the stain and throw them in the hamper. Them clean them later. They work much better that way
Pre treat with plain old Dawn diswashing detergent. Dampen the fabric then a few drops of Dawn and work for a few seconds with the tips of your fingers. For really stubborn stains you can use an old toothbrush, though I haven't noticed it makes much difference in results. Wad up the item so it will stay damp, let sit for a couple of hours, then wash. I've found it works better than the purpose-made stuff, especially on greasy stains. Only thing I've found that will reliably get shirt collars clean, even old stains that have been dried in.
@@653j521 I tried that. It didn't seem to work as well so I switched back to regular old Dawn. I'm not going to fret over the buck a bottle difference.
Hey Tyler, there's one great stain remover out there that does better than any of these. There no presoak, no spray, and scrub BS to do either. If you'd like, give ammonia a try. Yes, just straight up ammonia. All you do is dump 1 cup into your washing machine and let it run it's cycle. If I remember correctly, you have said in the past that you're a diesel tech (this could be a manufactured memory). I know all too well about that life, not only has it removed diesel fuel, but also diesel oil, and all of the smells that go with all of them. It actually brightened up my uniforms as well.
I would be interested to see how all these perform on new stains that haven’t sat for a day. Stains in your house that you can attend to immediately are pretty common. I can imagine it would make a difference in at least some cases
Thats. What he just did and a rinse with cold water does the trick on fresh stains right after the accident. If it's blood use peroxide rinse and repeat with cold water. Hot sets the stain in. To me a stain is something thats been there for days even weeks and has been set in with the dryer. Otherwise rinse it right away.
Tyler should test out the product that supposedly water proofs things like food and clothes and he should test out how effective it is. Also I think it’s worth mentioning that the stain resistant shirt might have not had any stains if you actually wore it I think everything would have just slipped off and wouldn’t have stained if you didn’t wipe it into the fabric but either way great vids Tyler, been watching this channel very close to the very start of it🤘
2 things. 1 the test showed how these products work with food stains. There should be a test for the different types off stains. Those are ink, dirt, oil, food and blood. 2 Did all of these shirts get all washed in the same load?? If so then it would make sense that they would all have the same result. Love the videos!!! Can't wait for the next one!!!
I would love to see this same exact video but with colored materials involved. I have used my stain removers for awhile and they work great for quick spot treatment but I've also been burned by them, particularly with khaki or similar light/pastel color. This video is great but i would love to see you go deeper!
hydrogen peroxide + dawn dish soap & add a little water to activate and then rub it in!! don’t ever dry your article of clothing until you’ve gotten the stain out all the way (or as much as you can). normally once it goes in the dryer, you’re screwed lol but that’s the best way to remove stains in my experience!
I have a theory- did you wash everything together? If so, all the stain removers/detergent may had mixed and that could be why they came out with similar results. Maybe wash each one separately
That’s my question exactly. Many of these stain solutions require not only a minimum soaking time, but also a maximum amount of minutes that you can soak before you turn on your washing machine. So letting it soak overnight may even hurt your stain. Also: why not have a tshirt with the same stains that’s washed without any pre-soak stain remover, but using just your regular washing detergent?
Something I picked up in college for my art classes was a little stick of stain remover called "Kiss Off". It'll get out even oil paint. Never had it fail if you follow the directions.
What you aren't taking into account here is if you cannot get to a stain within a few days or you forget about it and maybe leave it in your hamper for a couple of weeks even. The big thing about stains is you have to treat them properly. Enzyme eaters like zout handle things that come from the body or are protein stains. Zout is lousy at greasy french fry or butter stains ... For that use isopropyl alcohol or another dry solvent. And that mustard stain may never come out because it contains Tumeric.
i work in fast food and i can tell you for a fact mustard stains EVERYTHING. even our tables get stained from mustard being on there for a few mins and then being wiped up and sprayed then scrubbed with sanitizer and cleaner.
“The Amazon listing showed ketchup running off…” *Proceeds to rub ketchup into the shirt* I’d say this is a close second to continuing to throw ninja stars at a shield while they violently bounce back, input lads?
