AMAZING!!!! Thanks so much for the great tip! I have been a "lurker" of your site for a long time and it was about time I thanked you for all the tips you've passed on to me!

I let the stained item soak overnight and usually with stain is gone. I've had good luck using baking soda mixed with water. Scrub that into the stain and let it sit overnight. That works great on perspiration stains. I like to use a mixture of Dawn dish soap; ammonia and baking soda. I let the stained item soak overnight and usually with stain is gone.

It doesn't seem to have the magic effect I think it should but soaking with oxyclean is a whole different story. Last month my little one threw up on the way home from the beach. I stripped him down and put his shirt in a "wet bag" and company and life and here it is 4 days later. oops. So I washed and dried it and put it away and a week or two later I pulled it out and noticed MOLD stains on it. AAhhhh! It's one of my favorite shirts. So I washed in oxy and nothing. I used a couple different spray ons and nothing, I read about baking soda and vinegar, and nothing! Then I remembered reading something about boiling with oxyclean, well why not I had tried EVERYTHING else. So I dumped at least a cup in my big pot threw the shirt in and set it on high. I boiled it for an hour maybe, poking it back down in the water every so often. I dumped and drained in the sink and looked and looked and turned another light on and looked some more and nothing, not a mold spot on that shirt. I was so excited I had to do a happy dance :) So I guess I have to admit after griping about this darn box of oxyclean I wasted my money on that yeah it's pretty good stuff and I'll be buying another the next time we go to Costco.

It has really come in handy with my 2nd child as we are finishing up the potty training using straight-up cloth training pants. Nothing else will get out those tread marks! I do let the training pants soak at least 24 hours in the washer with a small scoop of OxyClean. After soaking, I add some detergent and turn the washer machine on. I used Totally Toddler with my 1st child, which worked the best at the time. When my 1st was born, OxyClean was a fairly new product and I was too skeptical. I could never find Totally Toddler with my 2nd child and that's when I made the switch to OxyClean. I've been hooked ever since!

I often find a stain from my daughter spitting up on me after I have already dried my clothes, one thing that I have found that works great is the "Baby Dreft stain remover" it is in a spray bottle, so far every time I have used it it has worked.

I have used it since my daughter was born and have become an even bigger fan since she has gotten older and into more and more messy stuff. The best thing I have found it has gotten out is make-up. NOTHING would get my make-up stains out, but one soak with Oxyclean, the stain was gone! LOVE IT! I am also a fan of Oxyclean.

I have stopped buying oxiclean though and just use baking soda and peroxide which does the exact same thing and ends up being cheaper for me. Scoop of soda and about half cup of peroxide and soak for the day. Even stains from a machine shop don't stand a chance. I use an old cat litter bucket for my soaking (vinegar or “oxiclean”).

Everytime someone asks me about stain remover OxiClean is the one I recommend. It worked wonders for me when my girls were babies!
