Getting Clothes Their Cleanest

Ever wondered if you can get a little more “pop” out of laundry day? When you do laundry, your clean clothes should be as clean as they can be. Don’t throw that stained shirt out until you’ve tried some of these powerful tips. Get your clothes cleaner than just simply throwing them in the washing machine and waiting.

Soak stains immediately

Don’t let that stain dry! The quicker you get to that stain, the more likely you are to get it out. Get the article of clothing soaking in water with a little bit of detergent, and then treat the stain.

Forgot to take clothes out of the wash?

We’ve all been there. You ran the wash, then left for work, or left them overnight. Whatever happened, the smell was not pleasant. To get rid of that smell, add half a cup of baking soda and wash the load again. Baking soda is great odor neutralizer, and can be used for more than just the “oops, I forgot” odors.

What stain?

In case that stain does set, a simple and affordable way to fight it is baking soda and water. Mix three parts baking soda with one part water into a paste. Apply the paste directly to the affected part of the clothing, and let it sit for about an hour.

For the extra stubborn stain

Occasionally you’ll get a stain that no matter what, it just won’t come out. Like its only purpose is to torture you. Like those grass stains that have been forced into your kid’s clothes, as well as ink stains and many others. Greased Lightning says “multi-purpose” on the bottle for a reason. Yes, you can use Super-Strength Greased Lightning to pre-treat tough stains.

For optimal results

Pre-soak! For heavily-soiled clothes, it is recommended to pre-soak to get those stains out more easily. The pre-soak water should be warm, add detergent and clothes. For best results, let sit overnight.
