I CONQUERED!
Exhibit A- 
Bright white, like new, and just in time for warm weather! How did I do it? Well first, check out my March 6th post Stubborn Stains to see my secret. Before I submerged the shorts in the recipe of ’special brew,’ I first sprayed all spots with these two products:
Spray ‘n Wash is an old stand-by for all-around light stains. Goo Gone is one of my best laundry friends and lifts all sorts of greasy stains, tomato-based stains - you know those ’shaded blotches’ that show up all over clothes? Especially kids’ clothes. Well, spray some of this on them, launder as usual and those spots are history! I soaked the stained shorts for 3 days and then laundered them in warm water. I packed up the shorts and shipped them off to my boy. I love being a MOM!xoxo
P.S. (Today my husband found some unsightly, stubborn blotches on our patio tile from where the barbecue grill was sitting - he applied some Goo Gone and they were GONE). Great stuff. And I don’t get paid to say that. Happy weekend everybody!

Denise,
Thanks for the tips! Congratulations on the clean shorts! My one year old is really starting to eat on his own now–I’ll definately have to add this to my stain fighters. You are such an encouragement-Thanks!

Hi Lindsay…wow you’ve got your hands full. Those 1 year-olds are busy as can be, but oh, so precious. Enjoy every moment and happy stain fighting!

I am about to try this trick with the goo gone on a new pair of pants i decided to “hang dry” over a wooden chair…unfortunately the damp pants soaked in some of the wood stain from the chair and completely ruined the front of them. ugh. i’ll let you know how it goes!
