[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 489484, member: 1233"] For greasy stains use a little bit of Dawn. Other dishwashing liquids just don't work as well. For protein stains, try hydrogen peroxide. It is esp handy on blood stains. If you have stains on white clothes and they won't come out in other ways, mix up a tsp of powdered dishwasher soap (NOT the stuff for handwashing - the powdered stuff for the machine) with enough water to make a paste and rub it in with a toothbrush. Rinse off after about 10 min. Do NOT let this sit on clothes because the dishwasher soap usually has bleach in it and can eat through the fabric. If you want to use this on colored clothing, test in a hidden spot to see if it will bleach the color before you try it. I have occasionally taken an item with a stain wehre the kids (or husband) used something with bleach to get a stain out and I use a squirt bottle to make designs so that there is some type of design to the places wehre color was bleached out. I have ended up liking those items more than I did before they were bleached out, ironically enough [/QUOTE]
