My daughter started her sophomore year at high school today.. she wears a white blouse, plaid skirt, and white knee high socks.. the typical Catholic School outfit... well she introduced spaghetti sauce to her blouse at lunch, and now Im stuck trying to get it out. She has other blouses, but I dont want to lose one on the first day of school. Any help?

White tops they make clorox bleach pens so that you can use them on spots.
When you do the weekly wash always do the white tops and socks seperate and bleach occasionally.If you dont have that just bleach the blouse seperate tonite in the washer.
I hated those skirts......

My gramma swore by prerinsing stains with cold water, in the sink, not washer, apply shout or some other pre treater over night and since its white, wash in hot water with bleach. If its not out after the wash, repeat process before drying it. Drying sets in stains forever. I have used this method and have had success probably 75% of the time.

You can try to put some peroxide on the stain. It is less damaging to the material than bleach and works well on stains that are acidic. You can use the OTC peroxide straight on the stain. If it doesn't remove the stain the first time try it again, it will still be active.
Good luck!! :)

Carbona Stain Devils do a great job. They have different formulas for specific types of stains. They come in little (1.7 oz) yellow bottles and can be found in larger grocery stores or maybe Walmart. You could also try plain old bleach diluted with water.

Try MEAN GREEN household cleaner. I know it sounds wierd, but it's saved my son's white Catholic school shirts many times, and he's the master at attracting stains! lol. It's even got out a few old ones! Hope this helps!

use some spray in wash! it gets everything out of clothes...blood, food, juice...it does it all well. if the stain is really bad, scrub it a while and spray a little more. make sure you let it sit for a few minutes (5-10) before putting it in the washer (use COLD water). it should work fine :) plus, it's cheap!

Tide to go pen. If the sauce was not too greasy, it does wonders for tomato stains.

try the stuff mechanics use to get the grease out of their skin (the liquidy orange smelling gritty stuff)you'll have to scrub it a few times but it will work just don't dry it till it comes out. I used it to get spagetti sauce out of my khaki's

I swear by that Oxy-Clean stuff. I bet it works on spaghetti sauce too!
