Originally Posted By quincytoo I use hair spray to get all stains out of clothes......

Hair spray also works well on other pre-existing stains too...... I HATE putting hair Spray on my clients hair and usually will NOT!!! If I must I politely tell them that they are taking away their color....

Originally Posted By Lisann22 I also use vaseline. I find other products to dry the area around my eyes out. Becareful when using these products, I once had an allergic reaction and lost all my eyelashes. Talk about feeling bald.
Originally Posted By smedley Can I jump in here with a household related question please?

Do you think washing with oxyclean would fix this too? I can't wash em separately as it is all one shirt. I thank you in advance for your great wisdom in this matter
Originally Posted By trailsend This is a good one. Bleeding colors, what a bummer. Especially black onto white. There is a product you can put into the wash that will absorb the darker colors bleeding and not get into the whites. I'm going to research here and find out the name. There are two out, one is simply a cloth, similiar to a wash cloth, that you just put in with the rest of the clothes. They work really well. As for your problem now, you might take some Oxyiclean following directions and mix up a little batch and maybe with a soft brush like a toothbrush gently clean your collar, cuffs, and shirttail.

It is a super product. You just drop it in the laundry and add your detergent. It absorbs the excess dye.
