Help - laundry advice

beautifullychaotic replied: I make up my own mixture. I usually take my laundry detergent and add some oxiclean to it and use a toothbrush to scrub it down into the fabric.

foxyrox replied: I use Shout. Works best when sprayed asap.

Do you know if that would get grease stains out? My husband is a diesel mechanic & I have tried Shout & some other pre-treaters, but none work. My husbands clothes smell & feel like grease even after they have been washed. I hate touching his clothes.

I have the same problem with my Dh's clothes. I hate touching them too...lol

mammag replied: I use Shout also. I like it a lot.

ions_momma replied: I also use Shout and I think it works pretty well!

Oh Girl! I got you covered here..lol

I used to manage a truck and trailer shop.. and my husband worked in a factory where they made tools.. we were a greasy family..

My mother in law taught me this trick.. and shout will not get that black grease out. We used the GOOP hand cleaner.. and put it right on his jeans and or shirts.. and rub it with a brush.. this takes a long time.. but it is worth it. Then presoak in hot water... and I do mean like a handful. It is like 1.99 a tub!

After presoak.. and spin turn the water back on on warm.. wash as usual.. but rince twice ..because may still be in the fabric loose and just needs rinsed out..lol

This also works on cow poop and horse poop.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Thanks guys, I will try Shout. And oxiclean. I had the stain stick, but I can't get Aaron to use it.

boobies4virtue replied: I use totally toddler stain spray, baby oxy clean and peroxide. Not all together. Let each dry before adding the next.

beautifullychaotic replied: I have never tried the goop on grease stains I might give it a try sometimes. For greas stains and ink I use Fulsol instead of laundry detergent with the oxiclean. I love that stuff I order it from my fuller brush man. I think the have a website that you can order from.
