My tip is about removing stains from clothing. Don’t leave the blog yet! It’s not that boring! Really! This can be interesting! I promise I’ll make it brief!
Boys + Jeans + Outside = Grass stains
Husband + Newspaper Delivery = Ink Stains
Daughter + Hot Dogs + Mustard = Mustard Stains
I’ve said before I am no fan of the reams and reams of fancy cleaning agents that fill my supermarket shelves. I was given advice many years ago that dish detergent, like Dawn, will remove stains. You apply a light coat of Dawn over the stain, and scrub. If it’s a stubborn stain, scrub the detergent in. Be careful over over-zealotry with some fabrics, as they may fray if your scrub too hard. I use a toothbrush with jeans. After you’ve applied the detergent, toss the clothing in with the regular wash. This works for most stains.
See, now that wasn’t too bad, was it?
