Stains

*****Update****- Marge had a good point that I meant to talk about earlier.  It's of course best to get stains out when they are fresh, but in reality that rarely happens.  So these products have helped me get these stains out even after setting for days.  Even after I have washed and dryed them, when I really forget.

 Some say I have a knack for getting stains out.  It's genetic.  My mom and Meemaw can get anything out!  I have gotten a few calls for help and some friends even bring me their stuff:)

So I thought a post was in order on what I use.  

Actually, I have quite an arsenal.  No product will get every stain out!

The latest and greatest thing I just found is shout advanced for GREASE stains!  Yes, you heard that right folks, there is finally a product out there for grease stains that actually works!!!  Just spray some of this bad boy right on that grease and throw it in the wash....Voila, the stain is gone!  Seriously!

The next is just good ole Shout Advanced.  Lots of people say they don't have luck with Shout, but I always have.  I use this for most everyday stains.  So unless you read me pointing out a specific product for a certain stain, use this one.  It works well on blood too.
This is hand cleaner that many shops use.  Mechanics, etc that get really greasy and grimey.  My Dad taught me this one.  He's and oil man and he came in the house one day and got grease all over Mom's rug.  I was in horror but he said, just go get some Go-Joe and it will come right out.  And he was right!  I stood in amazement.  I just wiped it on with a rag and wiped the grease right up!  It doesn't always work on clothes but it does many times.  It can work on general stains too, I just usually use the Shout Advanced Gel.

This one I am showing you is a generic brand.  I prefer Go-Joe but they started making it with pumice in it.  Makes total sense for men's hands, but not for my clothes.  Dad says if you go to an auto supply place you can get Go-Joe without the pumice in it.  I just go steal some of his:)
And another favorite...Spot Shot!  This is carpet cleaner.  I do use it for that but more importantly, I use it to get ink stains out.  Just spray it on and watch the ink disappear. Clothes, couches, whatever.
  So there you have it.  My dryer just beeped, it's laundry day!

  If you are in a laundry quandry, just call me! 

 Or you can just bring me the clothing:)
