Stains, stains everywhere!!!

my dear lady, i too have this all of the time. Please use carpet cleaner. Do not leave on more than 15 minutes but scrub in to the stain than wash with color safe bleach. This I promise you will work better than the laundry stuff for stains. If it works for carpet it will work for clothing.

I always use the oxy Woolite carpet cleaner.

It often depends on what causes the stain in the first place. I have found that for fruit juice stains and for blood peroxide straight out of the bottle is the best way to go. Some dairy stains as well. I also will mix one part ammonia, one part original Dawn dishwashing liquid and one part water in a spray pump. It gets a lot of the things out. I never buy the commercial laundry stain removers.

I don't have kids but I'm highly stain prone myself so I have the stain removing problem too. It used to stress me out to no end that stains would never come out so everytime I spilled something on myself (all the time) I felt like that piece of clothing was ruined. Then I discovered that oxy powder (except I use the cheaper knock off brand) and what I do is put it in the water when I wash and stains come out. It's great and now whenever I spill something, it doesn't phase me because I know I'll be able to get whatever it is out, even greasy stuff.

I'll be reading this to come up with some! I have 2 kids and my little boy is 2 I have stains all over his clothes! Ughhh- hopefully someone will have some good suggestions. The only thing I have found that works ok is color safe bleach in all loads but it doesn't totally take anything away ever.

i have a 6 yr old daughter that loves make up as a result somehow it gets into the laundry its a mess in the dryer i found something to remove it the dollar general store sells a hand cleaner for mechanics md40 i think pretreat clothing with it u cant even tell there was a spot im sure everyone knows how lipstick stains clothes in the dryer!!!

I'm not sure if it's a sure fire way...but it does increase my work a bit. I use a stain remover called Cuffs and Collars (I'm not sure if you get it where you are...but I guess any stain remover should work). I use it on the stain and keep it for around 15 minutes so that it works on the stain. Then I scrub it a bit (with a brush or use my hands if they are delicate clothes) and then wash them with the regular load of laundry. I'm not sure if it's really practical if you have too many stained clothes everyday. I have a one year old and a 7 year old. The babies clothes have regular stains and I do as I have mentioned. But the 7 year old's clothes are clean most of the time. I make him wear dark clothes when he goes out to play and when I think he might have a stain. He has an old T-shirt which he uses when he needs to do something which might get him dirty. Most of the time it is the school uniform which has the stains. But with 5 kids, I'm not sure how many stained clothes you would have regularly.

To get stains out of my sons clothes, it depends on how bad the stains are to what i use. I brought some stain remover(whitening powder) from a pound shop, which is simular to the leading stain remover...... but cheaper. It works just as well for my sons clothes. If the stain is bad i put one or two scoops of the stain remover in a bowl of boiling water with the clothes(inside out if they have a plastic tranfer on) for 1-2 hours and then put the clothes in the washing machine with washing powder and one scoop of stain remover. It usually gets rid of the stains the first time, but if its still there slightly, i put repeat it all again and it has gone everytime. ~Joeys wife
