[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I have used this method to clean really nasty costumes, but it has taken a lot of elbow grease and determination as well.
Wow. That sounds like a lot of work! Now I have to work out if it will be worth it. Maybe for one item. It wouldn't *hurt* anything if I were to try to do a laundry wash cycle with the OxyClean? Elbow grease and determination.... *so* not in my life description.
Signed, Am Totally Fucking Lazy
Oh now you're going to be getting me confused about deworming Flea's daughter.
Eek! In my defense, DW named him. She knows not of flea's Casper.

Not at all. We Joe uses it all the time in the washer. Does your machine have a soak cycle? You could do a long soak cycle in the machine with the OxyClean and then do a regular wash cycle with the OxyClean, too.
ma~~ to TCG
cute little fussy Casper

I think so... I'll give that a try and see how things go.
In the meantime though I will marvel at Sophia's elbow grease and determination. You win!
TCG just left for his interview. He looks like such a hottie all dressed up in his suit.
Sophia's determination is probably fueled by that fact that if she doesn't get the stain out, she might have to make a new costume.
I am heavily dependent on the soak cycle for stains, and I also I occasionally dye things. It's the thing that gives me pause when I think about a front-loading washer.
Good luck, TCG. Yeah, JZ, I got lucky, mom-wise.

Yes, but I was getting paid! And I made my students do some of it. It did take several hours per garment, but we got a couple of usuable seersucker suits out of otherwise ruined clothing
I would make a paste of oxyclean and laundrey detergent and sort of soak the whole thing, and scrub and scrub with a brush, and repeat as needed. I would make sure to get the whole thing and not just the stained area, because the Oxy-clean may whiten unevenly.

I think at this point I'd just be throwing it all out. But I am hella lazy about that kind of thing.
