My daughter has a knack for just grinding filth into the cuffs of her
jackets. I mean, she's only eight, but if you saw her jackets and
overlooked the pink colors, you'd think she'd been putting a new set
of rings in a car.

Nothing I do at home gets this stuff out - it's nothing more than
ground-in dirt, perhaps a little grease, but mainly dirt.

Tonight, I did the following with one of her filthy jackets:

1. Saturated it and slathered Stain Stick all over the cuffs and other
dirty parts.

2. Soaked it for 90 minutes in HOT water with a little Clorox, Oxy
cleaner, and regular Tide

3. Pulled it out, slathered on MORE stain stick, and washed it in hot
water/cold rinse, with bleach, Oxy, and Tide again

When it came out of the wash, the bad parts looked as filthy as they
did going in.

It's just dirt! What am I supposed to do to get it out? She has
oodles of other jackets that look the same way.


Try Fels Naptha, it's a bar soap in the laundry aisle. I get an old
toothbrush wet run it over the bar and then scrub the stain with said
soapy toothbrush, wash as usual. I've used the same bar for an easy
three years for all stain treatments on laundry. It's cheap and it
works. Even some stains that have been set in with the dryer it has
removed.
