Has anyone played around with the homemade stain remover that is one
part Dawn dish soap to two parts hydrogen peroxide? I'd like to know
how it worked on (kitchen) grease stains and particularly those that
were on colored clothing... if it got the grease out, how did the
color fare?

TIA

Ya, yer all about the sqwerting, aren't ya needle-dick?

You need to fug off outta here, and do it NOW.

The distinctive smell of Gain detergent just about makes me puke. The neighbor's whole house stinks of it.

Sf, there are a whole range of really good commercial stain removers; I would worry about hydrogen peroxide acting like bleach, although maybe it doesn't.

I've had variable success with stain removers but I DO rely a lot on plain
old peroxide. I am a quilter and either my steam iron will gush an ugly
spurt or I'll poke a finger and bleed on my quilt. Always, with no harm, a
rub/scrub with peroxide will soak out the stain. Probably does no harm to
my finger wound. Polly

409 makes a fine grease stain pre-treatment.

409? I hadn't considered that, thanks! Putting it down on my
shopping list and I'll see how it goes.

Late in replying to this thread, because...we have company coming and
I wanted to get all the marks off the walls where the dog goes. Oil

enough ventilation when you spray *409*!

Have you tried WD/40 or lighter fluid?

No! I've never heard of either product being used for that purpose.
I don't ever have lighter fluid in the house (don't smoke) and didn't
know WD/40 could take it out. If you asked me, I'd say WD/40 would
make an oil stain - not remove one. Thanks.

She is correct though, WD40 can do a lot of things it isn't advertised for.
I had a list somewhere, I will try to find it for you.

That's quite a list! Note it is compiled by users of WD40 and there is
a disclaimer: "These uses have not been tested by WD-40 Company".

Some uses are rather amusing:

- Removes lipstick from carpet
- Removes mascara from tile floors
- Removes melted scotch tape from dining room table
- Cleans peanut butter from shoestrings

I don't think I'd spray it on my clothes to remove a stain.

You're right. I'm still skeptical of that idea, especially when it's
something I'd like to wear in public.

I agree. You could try it out on something not so important I suppose. If
you do, will you report back?

I'm guessing that it will remove a stain but then leave an alt.oil
stain on clothes. ;-o

I'll bet there was an amusing story behind that lipstick on the carpet.
Lip shaped?

It might be an idea to try it out on something that doesn't matter too much.

I'd certainly us caution. WD-40 has an oil base. The thin oil may
act as a solvent to break down the heavier oil in the stain and help
it wash out. Depending on the material and dye, it may be gone, or it
may just be a lighter but larger stain.

I'd try it before tossing the garment if it comes down to that.

It's more important to not get it on your skin or breath its fumes,
read the label. WD-40 is not a toy. I would not spray it on
clothing.

My sister had one of those. She got it free from someone on Freecycle.
There's a reason people give those things away. It wasn't working when
I went over to take care of her cats one time when she had to go out of
town. It was a horrible mess. Even if you scoop, the smell is terrible
because of the tines that are just caked with dirty kitty litter. I'll
do it the old fashioned way, tyvm.

And the mineral spirits in it.

Actually, the mineral spirits act first, and the thin oil keeps it oily.
After, I would manually wash out with a degreaser, then wash.

I am confused here not having heard of such a thing. How does the rake
benefit from being electric?

It's a litter box that senses when the cat has left the box and rakes
it. I'm too lazy to look up where it scoops it to, but you get the

My cat is an absolute angel about using her box, I'm not about to
get one that might spook her by springing to life as she is walking
away. Heh. She's a nervous little thing for being such a toughy.
