Here's a stain remover that works as well as Oxi-Clean. I've used
it forever and am still amazed at how well it works.
* 1/4 c. powdered Clorox 2
* 1/4 c. powdered Cascade dishwasher detergent
* 5 qt. hot water
Stir this up and let your clothes
soak overnight. Be sure to color treat. Dark colors will sometimes
run. Otherwise it does work wonders.
----------------------------------------------------------
I use 1 cup Biz and 1 cup of
Cascade (dishwasher detergent) in the hottest water in a 5-gallon
bucket and usually soak several things at once. It works really
well. It has taken out most stains that I have had and it does not
hurt if you have to let it set in this a day or two before you wash.
-----------------------------------------------------------
A stain treatment I use is:
1 cup Dawn dishwashing liquid
1 cup ammonia
1 cup water
Put it all in a spray bottle and there you have it!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Here is a great stain treatment
that a friend's mother taught me. Fill an empty dish-soap bottle
as follows:
1/3 cup Ammonia
1/3 cup Crystal White Dishwashing Liquid
1/3 cup Tap Water
Shake gently to mix and prior to using. This mixture works on any
washable fabric, and removes basic stains, set-in stains, blood,
waste, etc. I pre-treat the stain, rub the mixture in, and wash
as usual. This mixture keeps indefinitely, so I usually make a large
"batch". Any clean plastic container can be used to store
it.
