I've been getting these stain on my clothes for over a year now that
wont come out. Usually oil stains come out with pre-treating and a
wash or two. But this is some sort of mutant oil. And I've tried
everything on these through 10-25 washes. So somebody said Pine-Sol
(or maybe that was me). Well, Pine-Sol doesn't have pine oil in it
anymore, and I can't get to Lowe's to buy the Pinealin.

Next best thing is turpentine. Well, I don't have that either.
Strike 2. OK, Mineral spirits? Strike thr....Wait, but I have
charcoal lighter fluid! And it's "South Coast Air Quality
Management Board"-certified (it's one of those "California is better
than the rest of the world" laws) since its more refined. THAT I
already have. So I sqwerted it on a few my worst "house" t-shirts
and voila! All the stains are gone after one wash! Yay!

Now the million $ question is.... after three washes, how the ****
do I get the lighter fluid smell out? It's bottom of the ninth,
with the winning run on 3rd, 0-2...

I'd dump a whole box of baking soda in the washer with the detergent and
wash as usual and see if that doesn't remove the smell.

Baking Soda is like Apple Cider Vinegar, the home remedy cure for
everything that rarely ever works. I was hoping for science-based
solution/explanation. Look, research and science is what got me
this far! <snork>.

Well, my brother had a couple of shirts that had soured in his damp barn.
I tried vinegar at first and it helped just a smidge. Then I rewashed them
using a whole box of baking soda. Voilá! Smell was g.o.n.e.

He'll find that those 'soured' shirts begin to stink again when they
get humid/sweaty.

He's worn them since the baking soda washing and of course they've been
washed again. No smell.

I understand that it will come right out if treated with cooking
oil...

Come to think of it, I could just spray all the shirts evenly with
PAM. Then there'd be no obvious stains.

Throw a capful of Downy into the wash. A month dead sperm whale washed with a
cupful of Downy would smell like Downy. Just a thought.
