| What is a good way to get those ugly stains out of clothes? They seem to get hard over time but i hate to throw out clothes that are still good....except for the stains.

| You can try Carbona Stain Removers. They are sold at most grocery stores as well as Wal-Mart, KMart & Target. They come in a little yellow bottle about 4-5 inches tall. They make a different formula for each kind of stain: i.e. grass stains have a different formula than ketchup stains. And you guessed it, there's one for underarm stains! It works, but I do find that after a few wears & washes, the stain comes back & you have to repeat the treatment. |

| Pour white vinegar on them.Then wash normally. Works for me. Cheaper than a "specialty" product and easily found in all agrocery stores. |

| My DD makes a "paste" of powdered Oxyclean and a little water to remove those horrible stains from her DHs undershirts. She lays the shirts out on her kitchen counter and spoons a thick coating of the paste on the shirt underarms and leaves them to soak for 4 to 6 hours. Then she washes them and the stains come out. I don't know how the bleaching agent would affect colored clothes. |

| I don't know if those yellowy stains are from salts in our sweat or from chemicals in deodorants/antiperspirants. My Grandmother had a laundry secret for whitening. She laid her whites to dry on the grass on a sunny, not windy, day. The combination of sunlight (ultraviolet light) and grass (chlorophyll) seemed to get everything white. Just watch out for bugs. |

| And bird poop, especially if there are blackberries growing close by. |
