Stains

[rawcool]

I had an attendant use a bit too much detergent on an order and it left little round soap stains on the clothes. The clothes were dried before the stains were noticed. Can I get these out?

What kind of soap do you use? Did you try rewashing? Not sure what you can do for that..........but on a different stain, we just found greased lightening, removes crayon!!! It was awesome, and it didn't hurt the clothes. Not real good for the hands, but it moved the crayon.

When giving advise like this, I have to assume that it was a mixed load of varying clothing weights and colours.

Try using peroxide. Commercial strength 50/50 if available. It is safe on coloureds.

If it is a standard load 12-14 #s use about 3-4 ounces (vary this according to load size) also make sure that the water is as hot as you can get it. Here again use caution if there are any delicates.

If it is mostly poly cotton and or cotton you can abuse this type of fibre without getting into to much trouble.

Detergent is designed to disolve in water. Re washing should have taken care of the problem, if it was in fact detergent on the clothes. I don't think that the dryer would have set this stain.
