Getting white SB pants clean???

[sbmom19]

HS season has begun and in spite of protests by us SB moms we are once again looking sharp in our white pants.

My current formula includes: Shout, Espro Sports Cleaner & Zout - sprayed on and scrubbed in with brush and then soak in Oxy Clean/laundry soap for at least 2 days and then repeat. By day 4 they might be clean.

If ANYONE has a secret formula to get the red clay/dirt out of these *%#$! pants I would sincerely appreciate it!!!!!

Iron out. Soak for at least an hour in the washer. Then wash with normal detergent. It will fade some types of trim and piping if they contain cotton. If any stains are left, use a Fels Naptha bar, looks like soap,on the stains of wet pants let sit for 10 min and re wash. This combo works best for us.

We use Fels Naptha here. Takes a lot of work, but they do eventually get clean. I hate white pants.

We add a cup of Cascade and soak for awhile, then finish cycles.

Second the "Iron Out" info (but I let them soak overnight) ~ we use that all of the time, followed by Fels Naptha if there is something that doesn't come out.

Third!!! If there are no red dirt/clay stains, we skip the iron out. But, that is rare.

Cascade liquid or powder? This is one that I have never heard...

Best way to clean white pants? Replace with grey pants. ;-)
