I had to write this blog post for two reasons:
1. I said I would in my last post about my mommy/daughter date where my daughter got a white shirt badly stained with chocolate ice cream.
2. When I first started blogging I did a post about homemade laundry detergent, and I asked my younger sister (that's right, Angela- I'm calling you out!) if she had read my blog lately and she said no. So, I told her she needs to. She did. Her response- "I don't think your detergent works because all your clothes have stains on them." Thanks a lot. But I assured her the detergent DOES work and the stains are a matter of me not being diligent in using any type of remover on my clothes. At all.
So here I am bound and determined to take better care of my clothes and find a stain remover that works...and to stop spilling stuff on myself!
Homemade Stain Remover
Ingredients:
2/3 c dish soap (I used Palmolive with Oxy cleaner)
6 Tbsp baking soda
2 c warm water
Combine all ingredients in a spray bottle. Shake it up. Spray onto stain.
That is one mighty big stain!
You can see how the remover has already started working after this step.
Now you can wash and dry as usual.
I think the stain remover did a pretty good job!! There is still a teeny tiny spot that is bugging me, but compared to what it looked like before, I would say the stuff works!
It's cheaper than name brand stuff too. You can get ammonia for a dollar, palmolive for under $4, and water and baking soda most of you have at home. So for $4-5, you can make your own stain remover a good ten times!
What are your tips for getting stains out?
