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

[catnapper]

I have a "built-in shelf" that tends to collect anything I'm eating or drinking. All my stains are right on that shelf, and not below LOL

Yeah, I wear clothes with stains. I have gotten very good at stain removal though

LOL! Yea, I have that *issue* as well! I guess I'm too lazy to bother with stain removal.... but I will do it for kids or hubby ... especially if it's a brand new outfit!

I will still wear something around the house even though it has a slight stain on it. So, I voted for the option that says I try not to wear stains. I live in jeans and tees, too - so small marks don't really show much. I have stain stick and a bleach pen handy in the laundry room. I keep intending to buy one of those Tide pens that Kellie Ripa advertises

i was eating oysters out of a tin, when I spilled the oil they were packed in on my nice blue shirt.

I was ticked off because I love that shirt.

The worst part of it was I didn't notice until I wore it the next time.

-------------------------

A few weeks later I went to get some brakes for my truck. I was in the Auto parts store and saw that they had a sale on that hand cleaner goop.

As I stood in line I saw that the manufacturer put a note on the top of the car that said something like, "excellent on laundry-try it!"

I thought about that shirt, the stain had set for about 1 month, went home and put a dab on the stains, then put it in the washer....

NO MORE STAINS!

IT was pretty amazing...

I think I paid about 1.50 per can....a real deal, considering the job it did....

CHECK IT OUT!

Thanks for the tip, Richard! Did it not leave a greasy spot from the cleaner? That's a problem I've had before ... the stain comes out, but the cleaner leaves a greasy spot!

No, it didn't!


I am a guy and I was amazed at how well it worked.

It completely took both stains out....they were the size of a donut.
The shirt was synthetic material....I don't know how well it would work on cotton!

Oh, one other thing to try, is to take a normal bar of soap - white of course, or some uncoloured dishwashing liquid and wipe it into the cloth immediately. I promise it works! Even on red wine.

Nope, never. I am too self concious.

I won't throw it out, but I won't wear it. If I do, it'd be for pajamas, but I wouldn't change into them until right before I get into bed.

It depends on how badly stained the article of clothing is lol

Around the house... sure, yeah, who cares!! One of my favorite hoodies has a big bleach spot on the front LOL I even wear it in public, I don't care.

I have this same problem!!! The Tide pen is a remarkable invention for this problem!!!

I guess I'm not alone here. When it happens, I usually say "with a target like that how could I miss?:
