  1. Listen people, DO NOT put your clothes in hot water, the heat might set your grease stain. It might also shrink your clothing depending on the material. I shrunk a blouse made it of viscose 😢

  9. When my children were babies my mom taught me to keep a Rubbermaid bin full of water and detergent on top of the dryer. As the kids messed up it clothes they went in the bin. At the end of the day the whole bin got dumped into my top load washer.

  13. Best thing which is also found in the kitchen, Corn Starch, put some on the stain enough to cover the whole stain area. Let it sit awhile and then wash as normal. Dry in drier repeat if necessary even after drying this will work. Sometimes you might need to leave overnight then wash and dry.

  14. No need to scrub with Dawn. Put Dawn in spray bottle with a enough water to get it thin enough to spray on your stain, then saturate the area. Let it sit until you're ready to do laundry. Spray onto area again just before you put into wash machine

  17. I've done this for years. I keep a small bottle of Dawn next to my hamper and let it sit until laundry day.

    Most of the time, I forget to do this at the hamper. On laundry day, I inspect each shirt for stains and apply Dawn, rubbing in a bit. I put everything in the machine and set a timer for 1 hour. Then I run the wash as usual. The machine detergent prevents the Dawn from sudsing too much so no reason to rinse. Occasionally a stain is tough, I give it more attention the next time and all is fine.

  21. Oxy clean used to work like a miracle. It would remove old grease stains, armpit stains and even the impossible yellow collar stains. I don't know if they changed the ingredients or what went wrong but it doesn't work like that anymore.

  36. Animal rescuers use Dawn because Dawn gives it to them, writes it off as charity, and then makes commercials about it. It's not like Greenpeace is carefully opting for the Dawn over any other product, just filling up baskets with nods of self-assured approval down at Walmart. It's a fine product, I'm sure, but don't make it about anything other than a tax write-off at sticker price (not cost, btw) and a pr stunt.

  37. The other thing that works if you have dried the shirt by accident. It’s WD4! Spray the spot and use a soft brush to work on the stain. Then wet the area with water and soap and scrub again. Rinse the shirt and check for stain and WD40 oil mark. If the stain is still there use WD40 again. If it’s only the oil stain from the WD40 soap the spot and rinse until you have removed it all. Wash as usual.
