I only brought half as many clothes as I needed for this trip. I know I can always do a load of wash while I’m here. To save time, I decided to wash everything together instead of separating whites and colors and such. I could wash them all in cold and everything would be okay, right? So of course I got some sort of dark stains on the new shirt I got for Christmas. Then I laid it out on a storage trunk and got rust stains on it. Dang it.
I went to Walmart looking for a stain remover. All my first choices said something like: “no stain remover will remove rust stains”. Dang. Then I saw the Rit products. I had used these when I accidentally dyed all my whites pink. They really worked then, so would they work now? I got two different kinds to try.
Did they work? YES! I only used the “White Wash” product. I’ll leave the “Color Remover” box here for Lauren to use or throw away or whatever.
That RIT company – I think they’ve made some sort of Dark Deal with unsavory characters. That stuff is magical!
I’m glad you got that shirt fixed, because it is a nice shirt. I need to go shopping….
That is remarkable! Good as new. Which is nice. Since it is.
Wow that is amazing!! Maybe I could use one of these products on the many color faded shirts I have. Just turn them all white.
Whew! Congrats on the great save there…but don’t be so hasty to ditch the color remover stuff. You never know when you’ll accidentally have a load of pink undies again!
[We swear by the Shout-brand Color Grabber sheets (come in a small box and look something like dryer sheets), as they cover a multitude of sins in a mixed load. One only appreciates how hard those laundry elves have worked when the load ends and the last thing to come out of the basket is the used Color Grabber – originally white but by then quite multicolored. Better living through chemistry!]
Seriously, am I the only person who thinks to use bleach to get stains out of white clothing?
