Answer 2

Blood the best thing is hydrogen peroxide. Also I have had great success with soaking in hot hot hot water and Oxy Clean. Salt water also works. As for oil based stains I would try small bucket and Oxy Clean but I do know with oil based stains that if you just don't dry the garment over time it washes out. You could also try that Orange soap that mechanics use to get the oil off there hands I have had success with that as well. Dish soap works occasionally.

Answer 3

Assuming the stains are on washable clothing, try hand-washing them initially in cold water and scrubbing the stains with Simple Green and a fingernail brush. When you've gotten out all you can that way, spray Simple Green on the stains and wash them in cold water in your washing machine using 1/2 cup of Simple Green with your regular detergent.

Answer 5

I found, that using fresh squeezed lemon juice on the stain, works great. Slice the lemon and squeeze directly onto the fabric
set out in sunlight. Works magic on rust..........

let me know how it worked for you.

Answer 6

cold water and maybe vinegar. I fill up my washer (before I put clothes in) then let them soak for a day before I put the lid down and continue the cycle.
