Have you used Tide Pens? Shout? or Vanish Stain Remover? Have you been dissatisfied with the results?
I've never had them work on a single stain, even fresh stains. I used to nearly CRY when I got something on my shirt or pants... and now that my toddler runs around the house spilling and dripping, and otherwise destroying everything clean in our home, it was time to find a better stain remover.
Lucky for me, it was already in my kitchen.
I present to you, my magic potion...
So get a spray bottle (My green topped one I bought at Dollar Tree for $1.)
Fill it half with Blue Original Dawn Dish Soap.
Half with White Vinegar
Shake gently to mix.
Spray on stained surface -- clothing, cars seats, pillows, whatever!!!

Rub some plain baking soda on top and smear around with fingers. Use a scrubber to really get into the material if its an old yellowed stain.
Then rinse with hot water and throw in washing machine with normal detergent.

YOU WILL BE AMAZED~!!!
We had an infant seat that we hadn't used in 2 years we were looking to sell. It was stained with baby formula, pee, who knows what else! (Gross, I know... Just keeping it real!!!) Honestly, it was totally disgusting. I simply removed the seat cover, sprayed the solution on it, rubbed in some baking soda, rinsed in the sink, and threw it in the washer.
I can't believe I didn't take a before picture, but here it is, one hour later, looking like NEW!!!!!!!!!
BUT IT GETS BETTER!!!
This is also my SHOWER/TUB CLEANER!!!!!!!!
On Wednesdays, per my Cleaning Schedule (See other post) I spray down my shower with the vinegar/dawn spray and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then I return, use a sponge to wipe down the shower, rinse and I'm done!
The first time you do this, I encourage you to only do half if your tub. JUST TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE.

Vinegar has incredible anti-bacterial properties and at the same time is non-toxic for my sweet baby's bum! I always hated using chemicals where my daughter would be sitting later playing with her rubber duckies -- now I have a SPARKLY SHOWER, STAIN REMOVER and a HEALTHY CHILD!
The JOY a clean shower and a stain-free life!!!!
Going to try this this weekend. Youre awesome
