Answer 1

I have had great results when I soak in oxiclean, It doesn't hurt any fabric, whites or colors.

This is what I do for stains;

It takes out most every stain, in an hour to three days.

dissolve 1/2 cup oxiclean powder in some hot water, in a bucket or large bowl. Add enough water so the item can soak.  Add cold water after the oxiclean is dissolved when the item should not be in hot water. Let soak till the stain is gone.

Each day Refresh the oxiclean and water. By draining the water and making a new mixture.

I got hair dye and yellowing from age as well as under arm stains out, also will get bleeding from other colors out, just to name a few tough stains that can be gotten out!
