It's the pits

There are some stains that just that are the pits.  Armpits that is.  That nasty yellow stain on tee shirts and under shirts.  I have finally found something that works.  It is super simple.  Make a mixture of one part dawn dish detergent (the plain blue kind) to two parts hydrogen peroxide. It works on all kinds of stains. You can use this as a spot remover for small stains or make a larger batch and submerge the garment in the solution.

Peroxide to combat stains

OK this one has a bit of a back story so bear with me please.  I was in nursing school and had to wear an all white uniform. Long story short I had a dressing change go bad (arterial spray was involved).  Let's just say my white uniform had blood stains it.  Horrified I went to the charge nurse about ready to cry.  She promptly grabbed the bottle of peroxide and some 4x4 gauze and started scrubbing.  It all came out!!  Now it works best if you do it  before it dries and the stain sets.  If it has set in them it needs to soak for an hour or so then wash as normal.  Peroxide is another fabulous mutlipurpose cleaner.  More uses to come :)
