Please help me save my dh shirts. White. Stains from steel wool with blue soap stains. You know the steel wool comes with a blue soap? That's it. It won't come off with bleach or oxygen sano.

Any ideas? What's stronger? I don't want to put holes in them then I can say goodbye to them.

I don't want him to walk around with these stains. Just bought them a few months ago. Thank you so very much.

I use oxy clean spray for stains if that doesn't work my next is oxy clean gel stick and let it stand a while.
Last time I had a tough stain I googled it and found a solution that worked.

Is oxy gel stronger then oxygen sano? It could literally make a hole in clothes. Is oxy gel even stronger then powder?

I googled but nothing came up. Anyone else?

I've used it many times and never had a problem with it. Got stains out successfully every time with it. But I wasn't dealing with rust stains though.

It's not rust. What other ideas can anyone give me. Please. I'm so upset that this happened. Just bought them.

You can try this ( originally recommended by my neighbor):

fill a spray bottle with one part blue Dawn dish detergent and two parts hydrogen peroxide. spray on stains and let stand between 15 and 60 minutes.

Wash in warm water & Tide.

I have used this method for other stains and have been successful in removing them. Good luck

Is this a cotton shirt or a cotton/poly shirt?

It's a cotton poly shirt. I will try the dawn idea.

Try Grandma's Secret Spot Remover. I used to pick up a little squeeze bottle in A.C. Moore or Michael's but then I found a spray bottle on-line which is amazing.

What Oxygen Sano - the spray or liquid?

I have found it very effective to let it soak in a mixture of cold water and the liquid Oxygen.
Then wash with approx. quarter cup oxygen liquid added to the washing powder.

I use the one for colored though the one for whites in particular is probably much stronger.
