How to Remove Stains Faster & Easier!! ✨ Here: ua-cam.com/play/PLd8k78uua8y81ANCDH8jCb88yP7YbTJdd.html
Always use cold water on whites..
@@playah_Ent yes i just found that out my towels are so whits now !!
Well you've admitted that your samples did not come out really white. So you really haven't shown us how to get your dingy clothes really white as the title of your video suggests.
i accidentally put a white shirt in my colored clothes now my white shirt is blue how can i make it white again if it’s possible?
I was doubtful because of the comment below but you were truthful, straight to the point, transparent about this being an “experiment,” and extremely helpful. I think the title is correct because it did whiten the clothes and every UA-cam video has clickbaity titles so I can’t blame you there.
No joke, I let some very badly-stained white clothing soak in a bucket of water with a double dose of RESOLVE oxi-action for an entire week! It came out sparkling white without any trace of stains. It might not be the fastest way to get laundry done but it gave me great results!
Here in the uk we only have front loader washers, they are great for this type of laundry. They have internal heaters, which allow to boil heavy soils whites and towels, no bleach needed. I have white towels that are 10 years old still look like new. Hot water in the best stain removers, just like the years gone by
I’m glad I’d watch this video so I know what doesn’t work completely! Thanks for this so I don’t have to make the same at home!
I really liked your time lapse. Thank you for that. I'm very sensitive to bleach, so this was very informative. Thumbs up!!
Oxy Clean does work when you soak dingy whites for the amounted time & amounted oxy clean. You can soak more than 1 item at a time.
Have you tried aspirin? My partner was in a trip to Dallas and a woman at the laundromat gave him 10 regular aspirin when she noticed he had a lot of whites. She explained they whitened better that bleach and didn’t harm the materials in your wash. It’s worked very well for us. From bedding to workout clothes. Thanks
im gonna try this thankyou
Did you watch?
Recently I watched a video to clean the range filters. Mine were super dingy, in spite of me regularly cleaning them. The video said to soak them in the sink filled with HOT water and baking soda. After soaking for 10-15 minutes, I added boiling water and let it sit a couple more minutes and began scrubbing. The sink water looked filthy and I can’t believe all I used was baking soda and hot water. I realized the reason my filters kept getting dirty so quickly is because I needed to clean the grease inside the range hood vent area. I used a scour daddy and dawn powerwash and all the grease came out!
After all of this, I thought to apply the same concept to cleaning rags. I filled a medium sized trash can with some HOT sink water and a cup of baking soda. I soaked the rags for a few hours before washing them with detergent, oxiclean, baking soda, and washing soda. The cleaning rags turned out great! Not all the stains came out but they were bright and clean!
I did the same thing with some dingy white clothes that I had. In the bucket with the hot water, I added oxiclean, washing soda, and borax. I soaked the clothes overnight. In the clothes was a white shirt that had some color transfer on it, a white shirt I had sprayed with Shout and washed twice but the stain was still vaguely there, among other dingy clothes. After soaking and washing, the results were impressive! I don’t know why more people don’t talk about simply soaking your clothes in hot water and baking soda or washing soda, or oxiclean. Try it! It really works!
The first time you put the dingy cloth in the dryer, the stains are set. I believe if you were to do this trial before the stains are set in, it would work.
Use washing soda instead of baking soda. Also oxy clean is mostly powdered peroxide.
I do use some of these / I also use bluing in my whites, makes a big difference ( detergent + baking soda + bluing..,all according to their directions & I use warm water)
Andrea. Did you know that the oxi clean that you're using actually makes a specific OxiClean just for your whites?!!! I swear by it!!! I also keep a bucket by my wash tub full of 50/50 vinegar/ water and baking soda to soak my dish towels and dish rags in. I usually soak them the day before I am going to wash them. Just enough to cover the load. That works amazing also! from time to time throughout the day as I'm changing out other loads I will reach in with the rubber glove and swish the stuff around for better coverage. also if I noticed that stuff has more stains and isn't coming as clean I will add a little bit more vinegar. Just be prepared because it will cause that chemical reaction and the bucket could overflow. However I do bounce back and forth with the cleaning methods as I find that that works better. One more last thing to note... On the recommended usage, that is merely a recommendation. Try adding twice the amount of OxiClean recommended in a bucket or your washer. Add scalding hot water & put in a condiment bottle that you can squeeze to put on to spot clean. Just make sure to use an added extra rinse cycle.
The combo I’ve found for stains is Equal parts Dawn, ammonia and water. I wear footies around the house and they get really dirty. I spray them with this solution and and then soak in water. I usually rub together the dirty spots. ... heels and toes and they come out very clean. 🌟
Thanks I tried this last night with a dress shirt I loved over the years! That was turning yellow in neck area and other parts on the shirt it made my shirt wearable and white again thanks I sure will be using this method forever and not the bleach!
I'm gonna try that
What kind of dawn did you use?
Thank you for demonstrating and saving my post op spinal surgery self from bending before healed. I’ve tried the vinegar and w diff portions mixed prior and still had stains. At least u saved a pair of socks, many are homeless after loosing their mate.
This didnt work. Misleading title.
I make my own laundry soap grated fels naphtha mixed in with very hot water and borax. Bleach yellows things I’ve learned on anything with stretch fabric like bras socks that aren’t cotton etc I’ve used with great success a soak cycle with calgon water softener for hard water and the borax give calgon a try but yes sometimes the fibers in fabric won’t get clean so when you buy new try the calgon once a month or week and soak whites
I am so grateful for this video & I am def about to check out the one for removing stains quickly! Praying for a miracle on these dingy clothes!!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the comparison!!! I definitely understand better how to keep up with keeping your clothes whiter now instead of using 20 dif methods of whitening. Like u said less is more
I remember my Mom use to bleach my Dad's work clothes. In the final rinse she would add a bluing liquid, then hang everything out side. His clothes always looked brand new. I can not get my clothes to do that. Could it be that the old ways were better?🤔
I like that 👍
Sunshine really helps
Ms Stewart’s Liquid Bluing (🤔 how ya spell it lol)…… anyway it’s awesome for whitening and brightening! Just be careful because if you don’t use it correctly the bluing will stain everything!!
The sun bleaches the best
You are 100% correct. The sun will whiten things up and sterilize them. I leave them on the close line even after they are dry for a couple of hours. My mother also taught me that when I used cloth diapers back in the day. As for the blueing liquid works well on cotton but not so well on synthetic fabrics. I love cotton sheets so I use it occasionally on them. Also, bleach has a tendency to yellow cloth out over time.
Best thing ever was clorox 2 powder, the one they discontinued and ivory dish detergent. Fill a tub with hot and soak overnight. You could soak whites or colors. The result was unbelievable. Despite washing these clothes, the soaking water was dingy brown. Thanks to the clorox company for discontinuing the best product ever
How about peroxide. I have used it on food stains on my whit t shirt works pretty good
Yes it does work 👍
I use clear ammonia for cleaning on sanitize . My whites stay white and don’t ever ever change color
Thank you!! Saved me time experimenting myself. I too love love the smell of bleach!
You are so welcome!
I Got The Same Washer & Dryer❤ Love It
Thank you. I have well water and I'm always fighting with the Dinge.
Hundred percent cotton versus some polyester or Ray on that seems to make a difference and getting things white also.
I'll be looking at your other videos thank you.
I switched to brown dishcloths, stains don't show!
Exactly!!!!
Brilliant
At thispoint, I just dyed them black.
I think the point is to get them super clean, not hiding it.
@@Rollwithit699 we know.....I was just teasing
I always run my bleachables through a hot soapy wash and then a second time with a little detergent and regular amount of bleach. Bleach does not cut through grease or oils so only soap does that job, then bleach can whiten better.
I like borax for heavy duty stuff. I think you should be very, very careful when you start using multiple products together. It can cause some very, very dangerous results.
So true. 👍
I'm so glad I learned to read comments before or some watching one of these types videos.
I was originally going to post:
How is it fast and easy if you have the longest video on UA-cam pertaining to bleaching whites,
Instead, I'm going to use the seven minutes I saved to thank the commenters for warning me that you made a video of how you failed but titled it like you succeeded.
Thank you my fellow UA-camrs, I shall pay it forward
So your thumbnail was click bait then!
I agree, don’t let your whites get that stained. I soak my dish cloth at the end of the day in the sink with a little bleach, then wring it out and wipe down the counters, handles etc. this way I feel like I didn’t waste water either.
My grandmother used powdered Tide and Clorox and hung the clothes in the sun, her sheets smelled amazing!
I do the same thing with my dish rags, which happen to be white. They look brand new.
Yes! My gMother always added bleach to dish water.
As for the sheets? I love that smell!
@@BluJns me too, especially after she hung them out on the line. Sunshine and bleach🙃
I put Dove White bar soap the original scrubbed into a stain and ajax, I let it sit for a good half hour, then I put into a hand wash with regular detergent with fabric conditioner. The stain is mostly gone
Try oxiclean white revive on whites, along with warm or hot water. I personally also use it on color clothes, but that would be up to you though. Never had a problem doing that myself so far, but can't recommend it to others cause I don't know if using on colors would work ok for you or not.
this is just what ive been tying to clean at home. i like oxi clean. it helps &also gets the smell out. by accident i found that alil extra spray &wash whitened something in the load.
Nice!
Thank you Thank you!!!!! I tried this hack and it worked!!! OMG!!! Definitely will be doing with all of my wash cloths forever 😍😍😍
Why are you lying 😍😍😍
Once items have been dried in the dryer, the stains are pretty much set. If a stain doesn't come out, better to hang it up to dry and try again.
It's an epic fail so it's a waste of everyone's time to
have made the video. You'd have to make a video that shows a successful outcome if you're looking to show a good hack. Better luck next time.
So agree. Wasted time watching it expecting a miracle happen in the end, but it never did 😟
Omg! Thanks so much!
... Moving on... With only 3min wasted..
I would think watching a 3 minute video on how it didn’t work saved you a lot more time doing then it your damn self and finding out the same result. Find something else to stress about.
Thank you for sharing the thruth..🌈🌈🌈
*Truth
I found two amazing products at Walmart that works wonders. Cloralen max and white brite.
Thanks for the demonstration! I like white dish towels. I keep them white by soaking them in a bucket of Oxy, sometimes for 24 hours or more. It doesn't damage the material.
What kind of oxy do you use?
@@Ashiryamills i buy it from Costco. Comes in a box. Powder form.
Thank you. I have a special needs son that drools a lot and is very messy when I purée his food and feed him. I’ll keep my eyes out for stains on colors👍🏼
Hi Karen try Oxy clean and soak your baby's items in hot water , I've been using it forever and swear by it , hope this helps
Just looking for ideas on general maintaining whitening and stain removals . Found several that don't use bleach . now using mix of detergent ammonia , HP , and white distilled vinegar . Not bad pretty good but for ancient yellowed shirts only so so some whitening but not too brilliant lol .
I always leave my whites for the last wash of the day. I use baking soda (1 cup) to washer filled with warm water and agitate for about 10 minutes and then suspend wash for the night. Next morning I finish the cycle and set up a second wash with cold water and Dawn Powerwash (1/2 cup). The clothes are white, fresh, stripped of any bleach or softener residue and lovely to wear. By the way, I wash all my clothes inside out because that’s the side worn next to the body.
I to love the smell of bleach. I have Dish cloth, bathroom washcloths and cleaning cloth and they're all white but the ones that I clean with are dirty and dingy no matter how I clean them. Yet my bathroom washcloths and dishcloths still look brand-new after 5 years. I do wash all of my cloths together on a hot cycle with bleach.
Awesome!!
I don’t mind the smell of bleach but I do think I’m allergic to it.
Bleach is not recommend if you have a septic system, however. And yes, it does damage the fibers.
I have a septic system and I use bleach when ever I want to.
@@jaytee2642 That is probably true but I like to use bleach every now and then to kill germs. So I make sure my septic is pumped every two years.
I have soaked things over night in bleach/water solutions for decades the clothes have always been fine. Lately I have been spot treating with Clorox toilet bowl gel. It works better than the pens!! I prefer the kind that's clear, not the blue kind, because the color can transfer. However it will go away after a few washes. Because this is a direct application I make sure to rinse after a few minutes. Martha stewart used to have a downloadable stain removal guide on her website for free.
I accept your challenge. my mother used to use the power of the sun along with the bleach and borax.
if you let the soaking pile sig in the sun for 1/2 a day . you will see the whitest clothes
I use borax. When stuff gets that grey they go in hamper and I use them for car, painting, caulking rags.
You can always donate the dingy whites to any animal shelter. They will be thrilled with dingy. Oh, Andrea, I have a front loader washer. I just put baking soda into washing barrel, and dilute bleach that I poured into top. I used detergent pack with liquid. I’m wondering if you have a better way. Thanks
First thing if you put fabric(s) in a dryer with stains on them - it won’t ever come out because you are essentially baking the Stan into the fabric fibers. But lye soap would normally take those stains out ( lye with real beef tallow).
Lady T. Not true. You can get all sorts of stains out that have been on clothes for 5 years plus and repeated times in the dryer. Hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dishwashing liquid.
Andrea... have you tried Laundry Bluing? I've used it and it works! It was my grandmother who told me to use bluing. I use Mrs. Stuarts.
I need to try that! Thanks ❤️
When I was a teen I used to only wear black and after when I started wearing light colors and white, they started to look ugly after sometimes and I was like "oh no! What am I supposed to do?! Just putting them in the washing machine doesn't work!😂" I'm kinda scared of using bleach but I think I'll give it a go after watching your video😊.
Not wasteful at all. Perfect cleaning rags, that's what I do. 🌞 Bleach on socks and after soaking I use a small cleaning brush. Works pretty well too. Lol. Back in my younger years that is. 💜
I use bleach cheap store brand and oxy and baking soda for 5 hours and still dingy. Work shirts 1 month old Any ideas
At this stage you should use these towels for floor cleaning or dusting as I use them
try just baking soda and vinegar and some laundry detergent no bleach and see what happens
What’s wrong with using bleach?
Did you dry them with heat? I almost never use the dryer and I do not have dingy clothes.
The very best stain removal recipe is one I read about in the Tightwad Gazette years ago. Add 1 cup of Cascade dishwashing detergent and 1 cup of Clorox 2 to 5 gallons of the hottest water that comes out of your tap. After soaking overnight, wash like normal. It works great on all kinds of stains, but it's especially effective on biological stains (blood, poop, vomit).
You should know that it WILL weaken the fibers of the fabric. So you will have clean clothes but they won't last as long.
@@sharondamico4136 how will it do that? Genuinely curious?
Andrea thank you for sharing 🙂
Hi that lovely guitar song toward the end of your video what was that tune ? please and thank you
Have you tried oxi clean white revive?
The best way to keep socks white is to first make it a rule not to walk around the house in them. Wear slippers only. The second tip is to wash white or light colored socks by hand hand at the end of the night. This also works for underwear. The longer the soiling stays on the garment the more it sets in. Of course most people won't keep up with this but there are some robot people out there that do this. Not walking around in socks, and only putting clean feet in shoes, also keeps fabric soles of the shoes from staining.
I got black socks for that reason
Do ppl actually wash things by hand anymore ?
@@screamboy8 We do exist. Come check us out in the museum exhibit.
@@leeluv96 lol
@@screamboy8
I don't! I use mesh bags or soak then spin dry on required speed.
Why? I don't get it?
I think you should use washing soda instead of baking soda. If you try powdered dishwasher detergent as a soak that sometimes works.
I agree. Also you can make washing soda by placing baking soda on a baking sheet and placing it the oven. I don't remember the temperature or the amount of time needed but it really is just a chemical reaction that takes place when baking soda is heated to a high degree. I've made it before and it works.
I don’t use bleach at all, I put 1 c of hydrogen peroxide in with my arm and hammer wash pods and my whites look great.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Hey, I had gloves just like yours!
I heard dawn dish soap works
Great video showing the 2 processes. I live in England so I don't know if we have Borax but I use Bicarbonate soda in my washes. Thank you for doing this helpful video.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍💕💕🐶🐶🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hello neighbor. 😉🇺🇸
@@sandraoaks7887 *neighbour 😉
Smells delicious! 😂 I love the smell of bleach, so that sounds like something I would say. I love all these cleaning tips !
Thanks Mel ❤️
The fumes are harmful to your lungs!
Yeap! It's algo great to give you lung cancer.
my mother used to make lye soap best whitener in the world
I am not a fan of blue dyes in laundry soap this is why I make my own out of grated fels naphtha and borax mixed with very hot water . I believe hard water makes white dingy so I’ve had success with calgon water softener to the wash and this works best with borax and fels naptha
Any help if you have hard water at home cuz you're on a well. The iron is high in my water and I am a renter so a softener is not an option. Im not investing in that for a place that is not my own. Using bleach in my water pulls iron right out and makes it stick to the clothes. No bueno
Oh gosh i use waaay more bleach amd overnight...prob bad for fabric but it works!
Hydrogen peroxide works !! Use it lol 😂grandma taught me let soak then soak in bleach then rinse and wash
You’re not combining the two right?
I hang my clothes in the sun and let the sun brighten and sanitize my clothes.
I love hanging clothes on the clothes line
The pb with waching machines in the US is the way they wash clothes. In Europe we use w.machines with internal heater, boiling and removing stains alone and whitening.
You ppl need change washing machines!
My uncle worked construction and my aunt use to soak his white socks with whisk! They came out white as snow
soaking clothes in Peroxide ( and boiling water) does it! You’ll be shocked!! You’ll need a few bottles tho.
Sulphuric acid works too.
Very cool test. Chlorine bleach is one of those dangerous chemicals, but there's no denying its effectiveness in cleaning, brightening and disinfection. (I sound like an ad for Clorox..lol) I think the key is to make sure you've got some major ventilation going on during its use.
We have a 2 year old stainless steel stove and top is also stainless steel. Grease around burners has baked or cooked on. How do I remove this without using pads that scratch surface? Is there a cleaner to just apply, let set a few minutes and wipe away baked on grease with damp cloth?
I use original Dawn dish soap. Nothing beats it. Good luck.
Comment 300. Better late then never. Andrea Jean, you are hilarious! 1:28
❤️❤️❤️
The more I use bleach the worse they get. I have tried vinegar but the result was the same. SO ? The tags said no hot water and no bleach. What do you use. It see.s like fabrics today will not whiten. Things were pretty good till my husband used the bleach and hot water thinking I wasn't doing a good job.
Where did you get those cute gloves? 🧤
I use Laundry soap, cleaning vinegar plus Borax. I soak for an hour to overnight- I get amazing results. I believe the soaking makes the difference.
With another set treatments,
I’ve removed decades old blood stains with a series of separate steps: including Oxy, hydrogen peroxide, borax, vinegar....
I’m my family’s spot Queen 👑
Would appreciate suggestions from the community. I learned the hard way using bleach with my current washing machine, a Maytag Bravos XL Steam model, maybe 4 -5 years old. I’m very careful about using bleach. For years I used a font-loader but never felt it got clothes really clean, or wet, for that matter so I went back to a top loader.
The Maytag is a top-loader and has a huge drum. Too big and too deep now that I have had it all these years.
Unfortunately, after using bleach during a white cycle, I noticed that the color wash I did a couple days later came out streaked in places. Apparently, bleach residue remained on the side of the drum. I think some even remained on the inside of the dryer drum because further streaking seemed to have occurred.
I can’t use bleach anymore. Suggestions for something that will help with whites but safe for colors?
P.S I loathe this particular Maytag model.
Oxygen bleach
Try sodium percarbonate. Eco friendly.
Sadly, bleach is not good for my septic tank - I would have to take this setup to a laundromat.
Frontloader washer using boil programme 90 to 95 degrees celsius without bleach
When you said, “it smells delicious” in reference to the bleach I immediately knew that I would love this channel. I don’t understand how people don’t love the smell of bleach and why it’s not an air freshener scent. Bath and Body Works should be informed 😂
Whole heartedly agree!
To add to it, I can’t stand floral spray in the bathroom after a poop. I want Lysol!
I love the smell of bleach a too 😂
I like the smell of bleach too... not a HEAVY bleach smell but just a light smell as it just speaks clean, crisp, and germ-free it to me lol
IMO. The items looked more stained to me. The process you used was to whiten. It did not remove the stains. I use Oxi Clean and do like you say have a routine.
I love Borax I us it for every thing
Cascade soap or par for dishwasher works better learned this over30 yrs ago
.
Does it matter if it’s powder or liquid cascade?
@@ltepezano either one works or biz soak 24hrs come ouy like new no soaking with the other..
U can use biz on colors dont use other on colors oy white or towels..asprinso works.for whites soak 24 hrs
My mom whitened my dad's shirts by spreading them on the grass in the rain. The rain water and the grass are very good for washing the stain and whitening your white clothes.
I tried this but my white clothes have turned black. I hate you now.
@@Kai99342 how come? What grass do you have, and what kind of rain water fall to your place? LOL
@@yulloveyullove326 I live in U.K. the grass here is filled with dirty mud!
Just a thought. Water is the real cleansing agent. Most people.use WAY TOO MUCH soap (as seen here) with little soak time expecting good results. Patience is the best answer to most problems. SOAK, RINSE REPEAT. 🙂
Use cream of tartar instead of bleach, or hydrogen peroxide, soaking in hydrogen peroxide also gets blood out of clothes as well
TryDr.Bonner’s Peppermint Liquid soap., I soak stains in it for a couple of hours it works wonders.
Try a little blueing.
Have tried sun light to get your white whiter it work very well I done few here and at work
Avoid white towels, socks and wash cloths, dishrags to begin with --- gray for most and black for clothes works for my eyes. Otherwise, haul out a stiff scrub brush and fels naptha and scrub/soak/heavyduty wash with bleach soak EVERY TIME. Do not let stains set in, treat them immediately.
Never! I love my white towels, bedding, rags etc... it’s really quite simple to maintain once you get the knack for it.
@@samueltheoriginal Pray-tell, what is the secret that makes it quite simple?
@@carlynesaintroc4709 Well it appears there's a response one year later LOL there are many ways to maintain your clothes bright and white not every fabric requires the same washing style however baking soda is certainly an option that works for me. OXY white does a decent job as well particularly for heavier cottons also never let stains sit too long on a fabric. I never wash whites in hot water as they tend to yellow fabric at least in my experience. One more thing to add however I'm sure you already know this but to my surprise many people don't. Do not mix white with colors and an extra rinse or two helps as well. ❤️
@@samueltheoriginal I'm just seeing this video for the first time but I had to ask. Thanks for responding.
Borax works really well to clean my childrens pee clothes. I douse the load of laundry with vinegar first bc Im extra. Then I add Borax and fragrance beads. I dont use soap bc I heard the soap is just like the fragrance beads and adds a waxy coating to the stains. But the vinegar really strips the clothes. So I just use the vinegar to strip the smell. Borax to neutralize any leftover smells and them fragrance beads for smell🥰 I dont know if my method makes sense but it comes out smelling really nice.
now you can use the old ones..to clean and dust..or wash down the walls..or whatever you need a rag for!! things dont last forever and no it didnt work..lol
I heard vinegar & baking soda destroys the washing machine and will void the warranty.
