Stained Clothes .... To Wear or Not To Wear?

**mruffruff** · 09-12-2006, 03:16 PM

I can't eat anything without dribbling! I finally bought an adult bib

My slightly stained clothes are worn around the house. When they get really bad, I wear them to paint or do dirty jobs.

I'm pretty good at stain removal too. I usually can get stains out with Joy diswashing liquid. I used Outright Simple Solution on a spread last weekend and it did a great job. (I bought it used and the stains looked like pet urine or vomit)

I'll have to get a can of that hand cleaner. I'm always buying my clothes from the thrift stores and finding a spot later.

If I'm just doing house work then I don't care if what I'm wearing has a stain. I try not to wear stained clothes out of the house though.

Kblaix, Thank-You for that Wonderful Signiture!!!!!!!!!!

Stains?

Well, I have a special drawer that holds "work clothes", talk about stains!!!!

They are beyond help!!! I wear some of the most ridiculous clothing when I am working outside, or, painting inside, or, bathing a dog , etc.

However, , Today, I spilled some coffee on a nice knit sweater!!!!!

That is a different story!!!! I soak these kind of clothing articles in Color Safe Bleach, and of course, I pray!!!!

well you said be honest, so i will stained clothing is a particular pet peeve of mine, i absolutely hate seeing anyone wearing stained clothing, so obviously i would never ever do that, infact if i get a small stain, off it comes straight away into the napisan for a soak, i don't even like stains on children's clothing, but of course understand that,but yep if my kids stained their stuff off it came, i know a devil for punishment, consquently i do lots and lots of laundry.

While I don't wear stained clothes to work I DO wear them around the house while cleaning or especially working out in the yard. Right now I have a pair of shorts that have a big sap stain on the back leg and a tank top that I wear while gardening....it's stained so I always wear it and don't have to worry if I wipe my hands on the top or get it dirtier than it already is.

The only piece of clothing I can recall gettig stained was a favorite sweatshirt of mine. Some kind of grease got on it and no matter what I tried, I couldn't get the stain out.

I wore it a few times but I'd see the stain and it just annoyed me, so I threw it out.

You've only stained on piece of clothing???????

Every single time I eat I drop something on me! I know it's because I have such a small mouth!

all the time lol my favorite pair of jeans has a big brown paint stain on the leg. and my faverite shirt is like 10 years old and completly filled with rips and tears a stain here and there... but its the comfiest shirt ever, and I wear it in public all the time lol

Maybe I need to clarify what I wear ... LOL! I do not wear things that have like big red colored stains, or anything really large and noticeable. But I tend to always drop at least one bite of everything I eat on my chest or belly! They *get in the way* !

So, most of my clothes have one small round *splat* right where a bite of food landed! I guess I am so used to it (or sick of it ...lol) that I don't even notice anymore. I will have to try one of those pens ... heck, I better start carrying one in my purse! I really would like to have spotless clothes for a change!

Well, first of all, who would have ever thought that we would get a household hint from a MAN!! Richard, thank you for that.

I, too, just relegate my stained clothes for at home use for a dirty job. Hubby is another story. He has favorite clothes and doesn't see the harm in wearing them outside the house if they get a stain. I have to *make them disappear* or he will wear them and look like a bum. Once he got a cigarette burn on one of his favorite shirts that he wears to work. It was lower, sort of near the waistline. He told me that when he tucks in the shirt it wouldn't show. Well it did, and that shirt magically disappeared too.
