It’s also the reason your homemade laundry detergent works so well, it’s an excellent laundry booster. Fels Naptha & Castile soaps have been around since before the turn of the last century so you know they work well too.

Anyone worried about no suds, don’t be, suds don’t do the cleaning it’s for looks only.

1/2 CUP WHITE VINEGAR
1/2 CUP AMMONIA
1/2 CUP LIQUID DETERGENT
1/2 CUP WATER
PUT ALL INGREDIENTS IN A SPRAY BOTTLE AND USE AS NEEDED.

Make a little bag out of common nylon net. The nylon net can be purchased for very little at any fabric department or store.

Put a handful of little soap pieces in it and tie it off, sew it up, or secure with an elastic band.
Not only will it contain your soap chips,
but it acts as a nice little exfoliant scrubber. You can use it at the sink for
handwashing, or in the shower for an extension of the life of your soap.

1. Boil about a quart of water over high heat.
2. Place stained garment in sink.
3. Pour boiling water over berry stain.
4. Watch the stain dissolve.
5. To remove blackberry or blueberry stains, apply powder stain remover that has been rendered into a paste. Apply the paste on the stain and rub. Rinse in the hottest water safe for the fabric. Also try bleach alternative detergent. Apply directly on stain. Let sit then rub. Rinse. Repeat until stain is gone.
Tips:
* This works best if you move quickly. Apply the boiling water as soon as possible after the garment becomes stained.
* It is possible that this method will not work with all berries, however, it generally works with most red staining fruits.
* You can also use dish liquid along with the boiling water!
