I must be the biggest sloppiest eater ever. It seems all too often that I come home from eating dinner with friends, look into the mirror, and see a greasy spot on my blouse or t-shirt looking like it will stain. Here’s the tip everyone: Don’t wash that item in the washer yet! Rub that spot with Fels Naptha Soap using cool or luke warm water. Rinse and repeat until the spot is gone. Then you can safely wash it in the washing machine. Check before putting it into the dryer. The stain is most probably out. If not, repeat the treatment. It’s amazing how many tops I’ve saved this way. In fact, I make it a habit to keep a piece of Fels Naptha in my bathroom and use the quick mirror check before heading to bed. (Yes, Fels Naptha bars are still available at the grocery store near other soaps.)
P.S. NEVER put a stained item in the dryer. The heat will set the stain and you’ll be unable to get it out.
