THE IDEA:
THE CLAIM:
- Using a mix of Dawn and hydrogen peroxide to get well worn whites back to their former bright white glory
THE RESULT:
If you've ever had to toss a
favorite shirt that was in decent
condition aside from a couple annoying armpit stains, you'll be pleased
to know you may not have to do that with your next shirt! I had a
feeling that mixing dawn and peroxide might actually do the trick on
dingy armpit stains, especially when amped up by baking soda which is
what the
original pinner did so I did as well! What I didn't anticipate
is how well it would work on old, seemingly set in stains! I tested the
pin on several different articles of clothing and admittedly there were a
couple shirts, my husband's Element tee below being one of them, that
needed to be treated twice. However, that t-shirt is ancient so the fact
that the mix worked at all is still a success in my book even if I did
have to go through the process twice. Honestly, doing it twice wasn't
because it didn't work at all. It was simply so I could say that I
brought the tee
"back to white". The stain was mostly removed after the
first treatment and the very slight amount of dingy remnant was
completely unnoticeable when worn.

I thought I'd try working out the pit stains on a colored shirt so I chose one of Hubby's old sky blue Hurley tees. Can't even tell there was ever an armpit stain at all can ya?
