Laundry advice

I did my laundry today and I'm displeased. (Some of you may have the luxury of at-home washers and dryers, but I have to haul my nasty rags to the laundromat down the street, so I hate it going to all that effort and expense and getting crappy results.) My "day job" keeps me outdoors and gets me very muddy and gross and I've used the most expensive detergents, bleach, stain removers, all that stuff, and tried various settings, but my goddamn clothes are still mud-and-grass-stained. I want to sue these goddamn detergent companies that put those commercials on showing how their stuff removes blood and grass and gets your whites whiter and so on, it's all lies I tell you, vicious, vicious lies. Oh, I'm so bitter.

grass stains are really hard to remove anyway, but the probable cause of your distress is the fact that your clothes need a long soak ( overnight ) in 'product' to assist removal of the stains.
do you get 'napisan' wherever you are? it used to be made for soaking nappies but now is a fabulous 'all-rounder' of stain removal.
colour-safe, bleach-free and it actually works. ( no im not employed by the company, i have simply learned all about stain removal because of my son who is a dirt magnet ).

Maybe I'll have to soak my stuff in the bathtub overnight before hauling it to the laundromat. (ha ha, like i'm going to do that.) Never heard of "napisan" but I'll look into it. Thanks, donna.

just buy a big bucket with a lid.

I've tried napisan on my white tshirts and it doesn't work! They still come out kind of yellowey and weird looking. Theres that new napisan Ultra stuff that supposedly uses oxgyen to bleach the biznatch out of everything, maybe it works better, but yeah I can't seem to totally de-stain or de-yellow white clothes... this is why I am a goth.

*PS not really.
