stain remover???

Anyone got a good stain remover??? I have tried Shout and pre-treating with Clorox 2 but there are certain stains (that happen frequently... don't make me say what they are) that I can't seem to get out of her clothes!!

Sometimes, you just throw them away. Sorry. Welcome to parenthood! She's a cutie!

I found the best way was to immediately rinse out the spot with cold water and then treat it with the Shout gel (not the spray) and put it in the washer as soon as possible (like within 24 hours). Usually that was enough to get those stains out. These days with the nasty food stains and things (and the fact that I can't get around to laundry that quickly anymore), I have discovered that adding some baking soda to the washer really helps a lot. Good luck!

Do what you will, I found out that after all that hard work to get them out...they come back!!!! I about killed myself to get Rebecca's clothes clean and when I unpacked them for Leslie, the stains all resurfaced! I am told that oxyclean is the best for getting them out for good though...I'll let you know!

What is use is Spray n Wash (I think that's what it is, it's a spray in the green bottle) and oxiclean powder. If you spray the stain (soak it), then dump some oxiclean on it and rub around to make a paste (you may need to spray some more). Let it sit for at least an hour, then throw in the wash. Before washing it though, look at the stain and if it isn't almost gone, spray and paste it up again. So far I have not found a stain I couldn't get out... Good luck!!

If it's white... clorox bleach pens! They are great and have saved one of Ben's shirts from this summer SEVERAL times!
