I couldn't figure out where to post this, so I'll put it here

buy any other color but white! that assures you will spill bleach on you somewhere!

 

aside from bleach which we all know.. blueing or was it spelt bluing?

 

here is a start;

Spider I don't remember where I first got this tip but I have used it to remove baby food stains out of clothes and have used it on white clothes too. pre soak them in electric dish washing soap and some tide in hot water before washing. Depending on how much you want to wash fill a bucket or sink half way with hot water add the soap and stir around till soap desolves and add your pieces soak for a hr or so then wash. I know I used it on old tablecloths and was surprised how much whiter they were.

This is my trick.... I can't remember where I found this *recipe* but it works GREAT!

 

--1 cup of dishwasher soap

(the granular kind for auto dishwashers....any kind works, I just get the cheapest I can find since we have a manual dishwasher and don't use the auto soap
