Any more advice for those shirts?
I have now a pile of 5 shirts that are not in use, because they have stains. |
If they're not coming out, it's time to use boiling water.
Fill basin with boiling water. Add at least 2 full scoops of Oxiclean and mix to dissolve. Soak just one shirt at a time for 12 hours. Then scrub at stains with cleaning toothbrush. And repeat with fresh boiling water and scoops of Oxi.

Thanks for your advice. I will try this.
I'm also thinking- could it be an issue that I'm using a negel vasser pail- which is pretty flat, and the shirt "puffs" up on top of the water line.. which can create an additional stain?

It should be fine. Stain should be face down.

I heard there's a product called oxygen. Find out from the people there if it's just as good.

I wash 40 white shirts weekly and have absolutely no energy or patience to scrub . I take OxyClean Spray and spray the collar and cuffs where it gets gray. Any food stains also get a spritz. I then let it sit for a few hours. Then I put it into the machine , with detergent and a quarter size of bleach , wash and hang to dry.
They are not perfect but spraying definitely makes a difference.
RAmom I will try your vinegar idea. |
Wow, 40 white shirts weekly! Do you iron them or are they non-iron and come out ok? I haven't had much luck with a couple of non-irons I tried. I just wash my husband's 8 shirts weekly and iron them & even that is overwhelming for me!
