does stain remover ever stain your clothes?

cause it sometimes stains mine. and then when i try to get the stain out with stain remover it never comes out.

HELP!

googling stain remover stain did not yield helpful results.

i USED to find clothes every now and then that had been stained by laundry detergent. but for years i've only purchased clear detergent AND made sure to put it in the washer and run the water a little before putting clothes in.

Not related at all, but it is a laundry woe:

Its going to cost about $5 to wash my clothes, and then likely another $1 to dry them

6/8/2010 8:19:57 PM

^^^ NO i know other people this has happened to.

i sprayed on some shout and it got the mud out of my clothes but now there are like 2 shout spots on my dress so now how do i remove a stain remover stain

^ well i figured i'd call it "laundry woes" to make it more accessible to other users
oh and ya, that sucks

6/8/2010 8:24:40 PM

Well what happens if you get a stain remover stain remover stain?

6/8/2010 8:25:01 PM

/helpful tip

6/8/2010 8:25:37 PM

^^ that is what i'm afraid of

^ that is what caused the stain in the first place, duh

ok after some ferocious googling and NO help from tww, apparently dish soap and white vinegar are supposed to help. since its kinda like a grease stain

sigh. i guess i'll try that.

Just tell people it's a semen stain.

6/8/2010 8:29:28 PM

but it isn't white and crusty

6/8/2010 8:29:45 PM

i dont think you can reverse the damage to the stain remover

thats why they have the disclaimers to try it on a small spot first to test the fabric

spill less boo

6/8/2010 8:29:51 PM

In that case I can come over and... [/creepy]

6/8/2010 8:30:17 PM

i didn't spilllllll

a muddy dog jumped up on me yesterday at the dog park

6/8/2010 8:30:33 PM

laundry WHOAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6/8/2010 8:30:44 PM

why'd you need stain remover for a relatively fresh mud stain?

6/8/2010 8:30:55 PM

AND its not stained everywhere i sprayed it. there's like 2 dots of stain. so obviously it works on that kind of fabric! just not 100%

i guess it is hardly noticeable. it just makes me

i mean its fucking stain remover

^ well it was from yesterday. and cause mud stains! isn't that why stain remover exists? i didn't wanna wash it and then not have it come out. that would be even worse

6/8/2010 8:46:19 PM

you wasted waaaay to much time and effort to make it "worth" saving said article of clothing.

6/8/2010 8:46:25 PM

^^^ waitwaitwait how did I get dragged into this?

6/8/2010 8:49:49 PM

^^ wat. spraying something with stain remover takes TOO (little grammar lesson here) much time?!

and why is worth in quotations?

^ listen i'm just trying to send some men who suck your way. no big deal.

i don't think they do.

6/8/2010 8:51:52 PM

i thought we were supposed to be bad at laundry

oh wait, that's just a ruse so we dont have to do it

6/8/2010 8:52:15 PM

6/8/2010 8:53:49 PM

i think most of these products advise testing it in an inconspicuous area...

6/8/2010 8:54:29 PM

thnxu

6/8/2010 8:54:33 PM

how much do you make an hour? how much time have you spent researching / thinking about stains and laundry?

Toss it and moveon.org

a) its 100% cotton so i didn't test because shout has worked on every other 100% cotton garment i've ever used it on

b) for the 10th time - product did not leave stain EVERYWHERE it was sprayed. just 2 tiny dots. so the test wouldn't really have helped remedy this situation. but yea, i know. i've read the labels.

but i never really understood how those tests were supposed to work. what you spray it on the fabric and then wash it and see what happens? but then you're just washing the rest of the stain INto the fabric when you do that.

i don't use fabric softener because it makes my towels less absorbent

I think Ambrosia is pretty hip to fabric issues isn't she?

In other news, I see that you liked that I cannot fold fitted sheets
I hate them!

6/8/2010 10:32:36 PM

I used stain remover to remove a stain caused by attempting to remove a stain caused by using stain remover on my clothes.






Once.

6/8/2010 10:34:35 PM

^^ ok i recently learned how to fold fitted sheets. well to ALMOST fold them - in a better way than the balling up method that usually results when i attempt to fold them.

you take one corner and put it in another. ok its hard to explain. i found a video.

like so:

^^Yo dawg?

^ I realize in theory that's how you do it, but I cannot make my hands do right. haha
I shall study this instructional video.

[Edited on June 8, 2010 at 10:36 PM. Reason : .]

6/8/2010 10:35:51 PM

haha. yea well at my friend's beach house we always have to clean before we leave (duh) and the cleaning is very methodical and must be done in a certain way - so i've finally mastered the fitted sheet folding

but dude in the instructional video does it a lot prettier than i do my own. but at least attempting this way gets them somewhat folded.

I like how he tells us "you are GOING to make squared off corners "
He's as picky as I am . . "just when you think you have it squared off, square it off again and again and again, inch by inch until it's ridiculous, then panic and fold it over"

6/8/2010 10:44:12 PM

hahahahha i know

cause he knows once everyone gets it almost folded they might just be like "fuck it good enough"

but he's like YOU WILL SQUARE OFF THE CORNERS

he is quite picky
