Cleaning Up After The Holidays? Four Stain Removers Every Home Should Have.

Posted By Rod Wood:

Ever get stains on your clothing but don't know how to get them out?
 
Consumer Reports ShopSmart says there are four stain removers every home should have.

1.Hydrogen peroxide. Good for removing red stains like blood or fruit juice.
Blot the stain with a peroxide-saturated cotton ball or white towel.
several hours before washing. Available at a drug store or a supermarket.

2. Amodex. This is an ink zapper. Place it directly on the ink stain and work it in
following directions on the bottle. Available at a stationery store.

3.Sodium percarbonate (such as oxiclean)
Good for stains of all colors. Use it only on any washable material. Dilute with water
and soak stains for several hours before washing. Available at supermarkets.

4. Grease buster. Fels-naptha.
Good for getting out oily stains like gravy, salad dressing, and pasta sauce.
Moisten a corner of the bar and work it into the stain. Then wash the garment
and hang it to dry. Repeat if needed. Available at supermarkets.

The Fels-Nappa soap also works fantastic on formula stains...those onsies can get pretty stained from the formula,but use the soap,and it takes them out...we were constantly tossing away onsies,because we could not get the yellow formula stains out,and would be embarrassed if anyone saw them,until my Grandmother told me of this old time fix,and she was right...it should be sold with all baby items,but it is not...look in the soap isle,or if necessary,the cleaning supplies isle.
