Answer 2

I like TIDE when I cooked for a liven I had the whitest shirts of  all I worked with, I like to youse SIMPLE GREEN as a spot treetment, works great with set in stains

Answer 3

try this

in a bucket of cold ( one Gallon ) add 2 cups of bleach + the oxy clean, it will boil up! leave it for  24 hours.then solk it with vinegar and water. Use one tablespoon of vinegar to one quart of water. leave it over night again.

After treating them overnight, wash them in hot water with chlorine bleach added. This should refresh them to their original white state. If possible, dry them in the sun.



I did this to my grandmother's old white table cloth, it was stained with mole and almost everything you can think of. its now back to it's orginal color of white!

good luck.

Answer 4

Go to www.stretcher.com. They have a lot of solutions for getting stains out of white shirts. It looks like the best one they have is just treating the spot with a q-tip and soft scrub with bleach. It says check every 5 minutes. I'm going to try that one myself.
