    Thumbs up Homemade Clothes Stain Remover....

    I found this recipe somewhere....
    Equal parts of:
    Dawn liquid dish detergent
    ammonia
    water
    That's it. I've tried it twice & it has worked! Once on a peach colored tshirt material. I haven't tried it on the color red. I haven't used Dawn on fabrics before, I'm hoping it won't fade colors. Does anyone know? The 15oz bottle from Walmart was 92c & used about 10c worth of ammonia. I used a cup of each = 56c for 3 cups of remover. I used a recycled spray bottle. If I'm pleased with it~~ pretty cheap & effective remover.

    My husband has an 18 wheeler and he wears Carrhart overalls in the winter when he works on the truck. Last year I took the overalls outside and wet them with the water hose then took some dawn and squited it directly on the greasy spots. Found a decently clean hand brush he had and scrubbed the legs on the overalls. Took them inside and washed them with regular detergent and we were very surprised at how clean they came out. Not all the stains were out but they look better than they had in a while. I was impressed, and NO the Dawn did not fade the carrhart color at all.

    Yikes, I posted that so long ago. I was Not pleased with this HM stain remover. It did not get stains out that SHOUT did. I thot I had posted my results. Hopefully, no one has wasted their time & $ on it. And... I made deodorant..and that didn't work either. My 2 HM failures--stain remover & deodorant.
