with all the crawling around that they do, their outfits constantly have dirty knees and bellies. I can't seem to get them clean from the washer. Plus food stains! carrots and avocado are the worst!
What detergent do you use? Do you use warm or cold water? Most of their clothes are 'lights' so I wash them all together - even some of their bright clothes (though the brights don't show the dirt). I usually wash on cold and I usually use whatever detergent is on sale.
So what's the best way to get them bright and clean again? Should I use a color-safe bleach? I've never tried one before. I'm afraid to use anything bleachy since the clothes are colored, but maybe a color-safe would get the dirt out? warm water instead? I've even tried shout - over and over again, and over night. Works great on DHs blood spots from cuts from shaving, but not on food or dirt stains.
so much for those commercials! tell them to come to my house and try it on our laundry! :)
