[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a life still to know about stain removal for all kinds of stains. Now with a few keystrokes one can learn about how to remove stains from blood, ink, wine, grease, dirt etc via YouTube, reddit, tik tok, whatever.

Stains can ruin clothes no matter what the stain. My 17 yr old's preferred solution is to rebuy a stained item of clothing (underwear, pants, sheets), which is wasteful and expensive. I have been trying super hard to teach her how to at least try hard to remove stains, like blood. Rinse in hot water, put alcohol based hand sanitizer on it and let it sit. Then after an hour or so put some cozy clean spray/ spray and wash and let that sit. Wash in hot water, 2 rinses. Then let it dry in the hot sun. If it doesn't come out then, repeat the process. This also has worked for ink (my daughter got it all over her duvet cover).

If it is underwear, try buying black underwear.

That's too much work for pajama pants. I'd do that for a pair of jeans or pants, but I very rarely stain those because I don't wear things I'm worried about staining on my heaviest period days, which is the only days it's a risk.

So I just teach my DD not to wear a favorite light-colored item on those 1-2 days a week, and to wear period underwear to prevent leaks generally. Problem solved without having to engage in a 10 step stain removal process every month.[/quote]

^1-2 days a month, thank God.[/quote]
