My son & husband are constantly getting stains on their shirts (dirt, grime, grease, WHATEVER) that I can't get out. I have tried 3 detergents and several stain removers without much luck. Shout and Spray & Wash have been the main 2 stain removers I have used. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

Hi..you said that you have used spray n' wash which is good, but they came out with a new one call spray n' wash dual power with oxi action. It is amazing!! It removes grass stains, dirt, grease, even blood. I could not believe it. I use it all the time, and it even removes old stains. Try it, you will be amazed. Good luck

Have you tried shout GEL? I have been very successful with it. I have gotten out everything from tea to two year old set in formula stains, as well as black grease on oxford shirts. The trick is you really do have to let the gel sit on the stain for a few hours (according to the directions you can wait DAYS before washing after you put it on) or a day or two. You just have to be careful if you are using it on an old white shirt...if you leave it on too long you'll end up with really white spots!

My daughter in law gave the idea to me about 5 yrs ago. Keep a spray bottle with diluted pine sol. in the laundry room. just spray the spots as they happen is the best way. But spray the heavy places then add about 1/3 cup Pine Sol along with the detergent. the son would get grease on his pants and has 4 normal boys. She puts the items in the washer , let them agitate for a few minutes.Let them soak about 30 minutes, then wash as usual. Using a fabric sheet in the dryer and there is no odor on the dried clothes,but clean. I use it on my shirts and blouses with spots from cooking.

At dollar general and deals you can get a bottle of Awesome! and so far it has removed every stain from any surface. I have used it on tar, and as delicate a surface as a light pink loveseat. For a dolllar, it is the bargain of the century. Good luck!

That dual action spray on the commercial. you know the one where the two liquids are separate until you use it and they stream together when you squeeze the bottle. That stuff is miracle juice. it gets stain out of the clothes of my 2 and 3 year old!

I'm so clumsy & I'm always getting something on my shirts, if its a white shirt & only a little spot I use the Clorox Bleach pen...it's amazing, it gets the stain out right away. For colors I use their bleach for colors, it works like a charm!

fels naptha comes in a bar like soap. get it in the laundry aisle. I scrub the bar with a little brush and water then scrub the stain. It's old fashioned and hs withstood the test of time. I like it better than any of the new stuff and its cheap too.Best of all it works!

The sooner you treat a stain the better and I have had good luck with Zout. I hope this helps.
