How often do you find yourself wondering what you have on hand to remove a certain stain? Or what you can use to pre-soak your clothes? It’s that time of year when children are busy playing outside and clothes tend to get a little dirtier than during other times of the year. Here are a few laundry helps for you:
Laundry Pre-Soak
Make a paste of washing soda and water. Apply to spots on your clothes.
Oil Stain Remover
Use white caulk rubbed into the stain before laundering.
Perspiration Spot Remover
Apply Baking soda to the stain.
Wine Stain Remover
Use salt on the stain
Best all around stain remover
Add one cups each of powdered Cascade and Clorox II to five gallons of the hottest water to come out of your tap. Soak several articles overnight and then launder as usual. Do not use on delicate fabrics or fabrics that are not color fast. I find this recipe works about 90% of the time.
