Help! Attack of the washing machine

I am horrible at checking pockets before I put them in the wash. And, I have done it again (but, for the sake of this post, we are going to blame it on the washing machine). One of Con's favorite pair of slacks he wears to work came OUT of the wash with a stain...notice how I didn't say went IN TO the wash with a stain! I have tried using "shout". Nope!

HELP! For the sake of my marriage!!!! =) Any suggestions or magic potions I might try???!!!

If it is a greasy something try putting baking soda on it. It is supposed to absorb the oil. If it is ink then hair spray (the pump kind) works really good. I hope you are able to get it out!

First of all, if you haven't thrown them in the dryer and set in the stain...then there is hope. This is going to sound crazy but in the automotive department (Walmart) there is this stuff called "GOOP" Strange name but I swear upon everything holy, it gets about EVERYTHING out.
Good Luck!

I don't know what you should use, but I often wish their was a clone tool for real life and you could just take out all the spots!!! Good Luck!!

For ink... Rubbing alcohol
For grease.... Dawn
For food.. oxyclean, or even hydrogen peroxide.

Google what kind of stain it is, i've found all kinds of good suggestsions from doing this. Cute Halloween pictures! I love the photo shoot of Maycie too. By the way, the pumpkin pancakes are awesome. Jazlyn and I love them!

Mand, the best stain remover that I am now using is Spraynwash with Resolve. It's awesome! I spray it a couple of times and let it sit for a about a minute, then spray again and rub it in really good, sometimes the stain comes right out when I do that. Everyone else has really awesome suggestions. I specially love Anthony's! Cause is all else fails that would be my next thought! Wash them and then hang them up, he may never notice!! hehe

Mandy, its been a while since i checked your blog! Looks like life has been busy. Congrats to Con on the bishopric, what a huge responsibility. He'll be great. Maycie's pics are so cute and Jaxon looks like spitting image of con. I have no tips for stains, but i do love oxy clean, it has gotten diesel out of nick's clothes many times!!
