Try massaging in a goodly amount of mechanics' hand cleaner before you

don't -- and shouldn't -- worry about keeping their clothes clean and
buy everything for her in black, dark gray, etc.


Amen. That mechanics cleaner does a miracle job on many things but I
doubt it will ever restore a pink fabric. Yeah. Just get her clothes
that can handle her lifestyle. Its good for the environment and for
your's and everyone's health that you don't use too many chemicals or
effort to keep your 8 year old's workclothes spotlessly clean.

I'd find it kind of depressing to think about dressing a child exclusively
in dark colors, but assuming I could get the same kinds of great deals on
kids clothes I get on my own, I'd probably buy most of her clothes at
Goodwill, anyway.
