Do you have a big bucket? I need to soak the dress white shirts in oxi clean versatile for 6 hours.

I spray Oxiclean in the collars and cuffs and stains and leave on a pile 12 to 24 hours than wash as usual

Yup. I fill the machine just before going to bed and let it soak overnight and finish the load in the morning or just put it on the built in soak cycle and forget about it.

I've never tried oxi clean versatile, should I use it on my husband's white polos? I used to spray his collars, underarms and cuffs on the long sleeve shirts but it was such a drag and I didn't really see a difference.
Is the oxi clean versatile effective? It's probably easier because it's just soaking everything vs spraying areas.
I would soak in the washing machine.

How do you soak with a front loader?

I have a top loader, but my basic method is fill the machine as if I’m doing laundry. Once it’s full I turn off the machine. After soaking, I turn it back on, drain, and start a normal load.

Hmm... maybe my next machine will be a top loader.
Don't think that's possible with a front loader.

I have a front loader, and it can be paused at any time.

The front loader works harder on stains and clothes don't need as much soaking. When needed I use a bucket for soaking.
