Stain Fighter

I'm sure many of you with kids are fighting the inevitable battle of numerous and repeated stains on their clothing.  It's worth the "battle" for me because I want to keep Jackson's (and #2's) clothes for future children, and not spend a fortune on their wardrobes.

That being said, I know the ultimate secret for fighting stains.

Yep folks, powder Biz.  Mrs. Ann, the lady who taught me to smock and sew, and who has treasures upon treasures of heirloom clothing for her grandchildren, swears by this little beauty.  And it really does work!

Soak your outfit in a bucket of Biz with hot water, and change the water and detergent daily until the stain comes out.  I've been known to soak outfits up to a week, with occasional washings (but no dryings) in between to see if the stain has come out.

I recently had a "nesting" moment and went through all of Jackson's baby clothes to see what outfits were gender neutral enough for Baby Girl to wear, and I did notice some yellow spit up stains that will have to find their way to the Biz bucket.

Hope that this helps you in the never-ending war on stains.

Happy Washing :)
