I have a mud stain on a white pair of cotton pants that didn't come out in the wash. Any ideas?

Question

I didn't put them in the dryer.

Answer 1

I found this wonderful stuff at Hancock Fabrics called "Grandma's Secret Spot Remover" It's wonderful. I had a shirt that was red and white. The red bled on the white. It took it out. It's wonderful stuff. Not that expensive, either.

Answer 2

Babies. Grass. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Some really nice things can cause some really nasty stains. Some really nice things can also get them out. Instead of noxious chlorine, these natural enzymes and active oxygen re-brighten laundry, de-stain upholstery, and way more. Nice.

Dissolve in warm water and use within six hours. Don’t let undissolved Nature Bright touch wet fabric. Check fabric label instructions. To test for colorfastness (especially nylon, acetate, silk, or washable wool), apply a solution of 1/2 tsp. Nature Bright dissolved in 2 cups hot (not boiling) water to a hidden area. If color doesn’t bleed or fade, proceed with use. Laundry - for medium loads, use 1/2 scoop (1 tbsp.). Add to every load with detergent. For large loads, use 1 scoop (2 tbsp.). Add to every load with detergent.

Answer 3

try this: mix equal parts ammonia, dish soap, and water in spray bottle if you have one then spray the stain well with mixture and from the inside out work it over well with an old toothbrush or some kind of soft bristle brush, wetting with mixture if need be again. wash as usual and the stain should be gone.

Answer 4

Oxy Magic is good on mud stains. If that doesn't work, use Pine-Sol on the stain. Good thing you didn't put it in the dryer.

Answer 5

Try using the clorox bleach pen on the stain and wash again.

Answer 6

1. Oxyclean paste would probably do it. I
2. If you have Ivory liquid dishwashing liquid, try it first. Dab it on full strenth, rub the pants together.

Answer 7

soak the spot with a little bleach for just a few minutes and wash again with laundry soap.
