how to remove stains from whites? ink , grease ect.?

Answer 1

oxyclean - it works

Answer 2

To remove an ink stain (if it's not a permanent laundry marker) spray it with hairspray. Whatever chemicals are in hairspray dissolves ballpoint pen ink. Then rub the ink spot in soapy water.

You didn't say what kind of grease you're trying to get out, but assuming it's black grease from a car, there is a fantastic cleaner called Greased Lightening that will take out most of your heaviest stains. But it works best to use it on a fresh stain, not one that has been washed already. Washing an item before treating a stain will usually set it till it's impossible to get it out any way you try.

Answer 3

For any kind of permanent ink stains use aerosol hairspray like aquanet or similar brands,(extra hold works best). Spray directly on stain and allow to dry then wash as normal. For other stains such as grease, there is a bar soap stain remover called Fels Naptha, it works brilliantly. Also stain remover such as Shout stick works well. I hope it works for you! Good Luck.
