You know how children have "play" clothes, so they can run and play outside, get dirty and its all fine and dandy. Well this girl {me} should
I am seriously the worlds messiest cook and although I'm a fantastic eater..{ I brag because I CANT STAND open mouth chewers and loud chewers}, I always seem to get some sort stain on me. I mean its just a given, if I wear white or light colors, well its just fate. I always get stuff on my clothes and usually I'm lucky that the stains come out in the wash with no special treatment. Well that was until recently..
dun dun dun..
A couple of weeks ago I was cooking, while wearing a pair of my favorite pants. Grease splattered on them, oh no. So I just did what I always do, threw them in the wash, with no special care. Low and behold the grease stain was still prominent after a wash and dry. Yikes. I wasn't going to let go of these pants so I was determined to salvage them - so I scoured the Internet.
This is what I found:
Many people said that if you had already washed and dried the item it would be hard to get the grease stain out.. I wasn't having it or believing it, mainly because I didn't want to. Good thing I didn't.
I read quite a few different things and many of them said combine Dawn dish soap and Baking Soda to make a paste and leave it for 30 minutes.. Gotta love the Internet!!
What I did:
First I squirted the Palmolive Dish Soap right on the spot, then slopped some baking soda on, mixed it and massaged it in with a clean, damp dish towel. I didn't have 30 minutes to spare so I gambled on 5. Then, I threw them in the wash at the hottest setting on a shorter cycle since I was strapped for time.
And it totally worked!! I'm so excited about this, I've sadly lost many items to grease.. not anymore :)
