<p>[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 222999, member: 1899"]Well, if it won't clean and you've given up on it you might want to try "Oxi Clean Laundry Stain Remover" or send it to a professional cleaner. The Oxi Clean really does work great on stains. Just spray it on till it soaks the item, then let it sit for 10 minutes or so, then wash it with the regular detergent and the stain might go away. Don't know if it's recommended on carpet stains though, I never tried it on a carpet.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Oxi Clean really does work though. I was skeptical at first. I had an incident where I washed a new white shirt the night before a wedding to get it to shrink a bit and fit better. When I took it out of the washing machine I totally freaked out, there were dark brown stains all over the shirt! I was confused about where the brown stains came from until I found some rust under the washing machine lid rim and inside towards the top upper back of the washing machine rim so when the water mixed with the rust it dripped brown rusty water drops onto the shirt.</p><p><br /></p><p>After removing the rust in the washing machine I tried to bleach the shirt afterwards and added detergent too but the brown stains would not come out. Luckily I remembered I had bought some Oxi Clean awhile back and never tried it and had it on the shelf so I spray it on the shirt soaking the rust stain areas and let it set for about 10 minutes then washed the shirt again and it came out *Bright White* as good as new, I was amazed and very happy! So there you have it, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Kevin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
