Default Re: Make Clothing Last - Saving Money Tips

OK, just found this out by trial and error. My daughter got RED paint on her NEW WHITE SHIRT at Girl Scouts. We nailed it as a rag. I had some Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda on hand (I make my own laundry detergent), which you can find at WalMart or Albertsons usually. I filled up the washer with warm water and a cup of the washing soda and soaked the shirt for a few hours. It's as good as new!!! I am SO excited! We tried everything else...stain stick, rubbing detergent on stain, soaking, bleach and I even tried rubbing Comet cleanser into the stain! I really thought we were just going to have to use Rit Dye or use it as a rag. My stores no longer carry it, but will order it for me. It can also be purchased online. Combined with Borax and fels-Naptha soap...it's better detergent than anything I've ever bought...and cheaper
