Baby Laundry
My daughter used to have a baby, whose clothes could not
run through the washer with bleach. Kids, baby's
can get soooo dirty. The bleach would have eaten
through the material.
Instead, I used to soak it in a pail of water
with powdered dishwasher detergent mixed in for
about an hour. It would get those, hard to
get out, kid hand stains. Then, I would just wash
it normal with laundry detergent in the washer.
The dishwasher detergent would, brighten it right
up, and remove most stains too!

I buy a lot of used clothing for my grandsons. I often pay as little as a quarter for it. I take a chance on things that have some stains because I am reasonably sure the stains will come out when I soak the clothes over night in my home made stain remover. I got the recipe years ago from the Tightwad news letters...it is a five gallon bucket of very hot water, 1/2 cup DISHWASHER soap, 1/4 cup of Wisk laundry soap (I use Tide) and 1/4 cup of dry bleach. I do this with more than one article of clothing at a time because it is not cheap, but it will take out most stains. Let soak over night, then in the morning pour it into the washer and let it wash as always...
