Princess Thanya…During my research I found that many that make their own detergent use that same detergent found HERE — undiluted — to treat stains on their clothes before the wash.

Seems like a fantastic idea since I already have a 10 gallon bucket filled with my DIY Homemade Detergent.

I bought a kids size sports bottle at the Dollar Tree and filled it up with my custardy detergent.  Happily (or not) I had discovered just today that my son had a nose bleed “a couple nights ago” he guessed????  lol BOYS!  So we had a set-in, days old blood stain on a white pillow to test.  No time like the present to check this method out.

I took my sports bottle and applied the mixture directly to the stain.  I bought this type of bottle over a spray bottle because I liked that I could directly apply to the stained area and it would stick, and wanted this method since my detergent was not watered down.  I purposely missed a little spot to see how well the stain remover would work.

I let it sit for 30 min before throwing it in the washer.

…TICK TOCK…

Now to be perfectly honest with you, sometimes I do have my doubts.  Especially with this stain in particular.  Since it was blood and a couple days old I really thought I had set myself for failure.  BUT I WAS WRONG!  The Pillow came out WHITE!  There IS a small spot where I didn’t apply the stain treatment.  WOW.  Shout has just lost this customer.  I can make my own!   Next week I will post another recipe that I found for DIY Stain Treater and Spot Spray.

(Can you see the little spot I left?)

The Quest continues, stay tuned ☺
