SECOND CHANCE FOR CLOTHING
We do not accept stained clothing. However, many times items can be salvaged with Oxyclean or by using the following recipe:
¼ cup of automatic dishwashing detergent
½ cup Clorox II
1 gallon HOT water
Soak clothes in solution for eight hours or overnight. After presoaking, put clothes in the same solution for a thorough machine wash cycle. This recipe is good for white and colored clothing, but always check first for color-fastness.
