I don't think I could exist without OxyClean powder and spray! I soak my whites in my washing machine with a couple of scoops of Oxiclean powder and they are white as snow. If I have stains I soak them in it as well. I make it a little stronger than the directions, depending on the stain and it has never failed me except on one occasion (My dil's knit top that the black polka dots faded on to the white part). I buy it in the 11 lb. boxes from Sam's Club. The smaller containers in other stores are too expensive. I usually add a scoop even to the colored clothes and jeans and they all come out much cleaner. I use my regular soap with the OxiClean.
I have even had stains that had gone thru the dryer come out with soaking in a heavy OxiClean solution. If you haven't tried it, you should do so. If the stains are severe, make your oxiclean solution like a thick syrup and then when you go to wash the article just add the oxiclean water to your wash so you don't waste it.
My two cents worth for the day. Hope everyone has a good day!
