Last month while I was visiting my sister-in-law, my 4-month old had a “blowout.” I asked my sister-in-law if she had a stain remover I could spray on the clothes. She mentioned that she had a homemade pre-wash stain remover that did a great job of getting stains out. I tried it, and it worked better than the store-bought stain removers! And it’s so simple to put together.
Homemade Pre-Wash Stain Remover
1/3 part Tide (can substitute a liquid detergent you have)
1/3 part Ammonia
1/3 part Water
Place the three ingredients in a spray bottle and label. Apply to a difficult stain as soon as it is made and let sit for about 10 minutes before the article is laundered.
And here’s another simple pre-wash stain remover with ingredients you probably have around your house.
Homemade Pre-Wash Stain Remover#2
Two parts ammonia
Two parts white vinegar
One part baking soda
Five parts water
Do you have a homemade pre-wash stain remover that has worked for you, please share it with us.
Is this pre-wash good on most any regular fabric and colors?
Yes, it is. I spray it onto all of my family’s clothing that got something on it that could stain.
