Machine Coolant... sorry but I couldn't find anything!

Answer 2

For the coffee and machine coolant stains (?) I would pretreat the spots with full strength detergent, let set for a bit and even scrub with an old toothbrush, then wash. If still there, do not throw into dryer, pretreat stains again. If these are items that happen to be favorites, keep doing the pretreating until those spots are out. With a little elbow grease you should have some success.

Now as far as the cat urine, which I have no experience in dealing with, I would most definitely let the whole load soak in the washer. Add some Borax or Arm and Hammer Washing Soda and also trying adding some vinegar to the soak water (both are very good products and you should be able to find these items at the grocery store, on the detergent isle, and vinegar is excellent for odor removal). And if your clothing will allow it, soak in hot water for at least a couple of hours, then let it go through the rest of the cycling, then put the whole load through a regular wash and rinse cycle along with your detergent. After all that, before throwing into the dryer(for doing this will set in any stains and odors) check to see if there are still tell tail odors in the load. If there are, repeat the washing cycle and possibly even the soaking before drying.

Good luck.

Answer 3

for the cat urine you need a special spray found in a pet store, it is the only thing I know of that gets rid of the smell.
as far as coffee, try milk(immerse the spot in milk in a bowl and leave it for 30 minutes....pour on and then scrub the spot with sunlight soap well ( use a nail brush)rinse again and check it out, repeat the soap and scrub.. it should come out.
As far as coolant, try go jo, it is a hand cleaner....wet area and rub in well, rinse and repeat, then launder.....you can actually add go jo right in the washing machine......
