[net.consumers] How to get tough stains out of clothes?

sieg@bocar.UUCP (B A Siegel) (01/20/86)

Does anyone know of a good (sure-fire) way to get tough staions out of 
clothes?  Assume the clothes are multi-colored (which eliminates bleach).

I have tried SHOUT but more often than not it doesn't seem to do the job.

Thanks,

 I was unable to email a direct reply, so I'm posting to the net:

 I've found that Barcolene (a cleaner like Mr. Clean, Top Job,
 Lestoil, etc., but cheaper) added to the stain works better than
 any additive made for the laundry, although it sometimes requires an
 extra rinse.

 Also, a paste of meat tenderizer applied to the stain and left
 overnight is helpful on blood stains.
