This is guaranteed to take out 3 year old stains and it can
sometimes work on 5 year old stains, but not guaranteed:
1 Cup Trisodium Phosphate (found in cascade dishwasher
soap)
1/2 Cup of bleach
Soak in very HOT water for 20 minutes
This is for whites only-- Can soak longer
************************************************
For colors:
1 Cup Trisodium Phosphate (cascade)
1/2 Baking Soda
Soak in very hot water for 20 minutes or longer
To get out stains you can repeat the above two recipes as
needed. Some materials the color may not be color fast and it could take
out the color in spots. So test where it doesn't show. For smaller
areas like men's collars, I mix it by tablespoons -- 1 Tablespoon to 1/2
Tablespoon ratio and use a toothbrush to scrub it on the collar.
I have seen this take out wine and coffee stains on very
fine linens.
