Talk Back Thursday

Thank you so much to Craftygirl, Christine, Amelia, Summerset, Sarah, Elaina, Shannon, Lori and Cindy for talking back to my confession last week! I asked how people tackle stains on various fabrics.

Here is a summary of all the great tips. (This is my first attempt at an html table, and html is not co-operating, so please excuse the flawed formatting. I CANNOT figure out how to make the large amount of white space before the table go away...)

WHO	WHAT	WHY	COMMENTS
Craftygirl	Peroxide	Just about anything	Test first! Can remove all color.
Craftygirl	Dawn dishwashing liquid	Degreaser	Fabrics sturdier than silk
Christine	Club soda	Just about anything
Christine	Pantyhose	Deodorant residue
Amelia	Boiling water	Berry stains	Hot water from the tap is not good enough
Summerset	Rubbing alcohol or anything with alcohol, (ex. hair spray, hand sanitizer	Most ink stains Fray Check residue	See this post on Pam Erny’s blog
Sarah	Rubbing alcohol
Elaina	Vinegar	Cigarette smell & residue	Add a cup to the rinse cycle
Shannon	Glycerin dish soap	Degreaser
Shannon	Sunlight	Food based stains
Lori	Cascade with some water	Stains on white baby clothes
Lori	Alcohol	Pen marks
Cindy	Hairspray	Hair coloring	Trick from her days working in a beauty salon.
Cindy	Lemon juice	Ink
Cindy	Baby powder	Deodorant stains	Apply to underarm area of blouse BEFORE you wear it.

Finally, we had two “shout outs” for Shout Stain Remover® from Sarah and Lori. :)


Thanks again to everyone for sharing their stain removing tips! I definitely picked up some new ones! :)
