Throw in OxiClean white revive laundry stain remover powder with each load to keep white shirts looking fresh.
Removing Pit Stains
Taken from a video Brandon sent me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqwRByv3Zkw
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon of Hydrogen Peroxide
- 1 teaspoon of Blue Dawn Dish Soap
- 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
Mix it into a paste, apply it to the stains.
Peroxide has mild bleaching property, so be careful (test) on non-white shirts. Ideally, let it sit overnight. If not overnight, then at least for a couple hours.
Using Bleach
You can’t use Bleach on non-white items obviously, but even with white shirts you have to be careful they are bleach-safe fabric.
- Be sure you only wash bleach-safe fabrics in your bleach load, like items made from cotton, polyester, nylon, and acrylic.
- Watch out for garments with fiber types that are not safe for bleach–you should never bleach textiles made with wool, silk, mohair, leather, and spandex. Even a small amount of spandex blended with another fiber can yellow when washed with bleach.
- We recommend ⅓ cup for a regular size load with an average soil level, and ⅔ cup for an extra-large or heavily soiled load in a standard washer.
