A few weeks ago I posted a WFMW entry about arm pit stains, and Mary Beth left a comment with a recipe for getting rid of stains.
I'm sure it was not a coincidence (Because I am convinced God is involved in everything. *grin*) that the next day my husband came to me with a badly stained white shirt - yellowed collar, and various other spots - but no arm pit stains. I told him I had a new recipe to try on it, and he gathered a few other "white" shirts for me to clean.
Well, last night I finally got around to it and I am telling you - I am amazed! These shirts look fantastic!!!
So, here's what I did:
I mixed three gallons of HOT water in my kitchen sink with 1-1/2 cups bleach and 1-1/2 cups dishwasher detergent (I tripled the original recipe, because I had several shirts to clean.) and soaked the shirts for about an hour, "stirring" a couple times in that hour. Then I rinsed them and washed as normal. Seriously amazing results!
And that? Works for me.

Ha, very interesting and nice to know it really works!
I will have to give that a try!
Good tip!!
I always appreciate any ideas to get out stains! Thanks!
Dishwashing detergent..Is that like dish soap? Palmolive type soap?
My philosophy is when the white shirt yellows, it's time for a new shirt. Go shopping girl! You're missing all the fun standing over a hot sink stirring shirts. Meet me at Kohls. Their clearance rack is AWESOME! I bought a beautiful new shirt for church for $6.80!!!!
*wink*
Yes I have heard this, but have not tried it yet. . .looks like I better try it cause it works:) Thanks
LOL! I like what CK said!
BUT .. I am certainly inclinced to try this receipe out! Thanks Karen.
Just watched your video too. (I'm a bit behind) And there you are with your quiet and gentle spirit! :D
I think I will do this in my washer it has a better chance of staying put without little hands helping.
Glad I could assist you! Don't expect much more from me in the domestic part of life. LOL
