Thanks for the link, Megan! I’ve actually been experimenting more with Bac-Out lately, which is sort of ironic. I still like the other homemade one, too. Can’t quite decide between them.

What has really helped me lately is that I bought a bunch of small spray bottles from the dollar store, filled them with stain remover, and put them in the bedrooms. Because our laundry room is downstairs, stains were often not being treated quickly enough and often just being tossed into the hamper and forgotten about. It was turning into a really big problem, actually. Now with a spray bottle in each room, I can just make sure I give each stain a good spray before tossing it in the hamper and I am having so much less trouble with stubborn stains!

Whenever we get a stain, the first thing I do is soak the shirt in the kitchen sink in very cold water. I will leave it there all day. Most times, the stain just disappears, watered down completely. This happens with blood, strawberries, mud, chocolate ice cream, all kinds of things. If some stain remains, I spray Charlie's Soap on it, or I rub in a little dishsoap. I wash it once, and check it before it goes into the dryer to see if it needs another run. Visty’s last blog post..talented and gifted

you know…. we just leave the stains…. if the sun cant work its wonders.
it is not worth all the toxins in the home, or the extra money used on sprays and what not-
when stains just happen…. they are a fact that your child plays, and plays well….
I personally think, who cares about a stain…. and why should we care?
right.
let the stains remain!

@Ang @ The Creative Mama, I have been known to use Oxy-Clean a time or many - especially for the stains that made it all the way through a tumble in the dryer. Megan’s last blog post..June 5th: SK Showcase and Weekend Links

Great post and perfect timing! We’ve used oxy-clean in our white loads before, but I’m a big fan of the natural stain fighting power of the good ole sun

I loved this article, thanks! I especially liked the idea of "play clothes" for grown ups. Often I find myself hesitant to play because of what I am wearing, what a great suggestion! Julia @ The Frugal Find’s last blog post..Kmart IS Doubling!!
