The Tide Stain Releaser worked.

Many years ago, circa 1988, my ex-wife washed a few white things together. Mainly, my summer white uniforms and some white sweater she liked to wear. In the pocket of the sweater, she had left a tube of some flavor of red lipstick. She then dried the washed clothes. She pulled them out and saw what she had done. When I got home, she informed me that she had ruined a set of hard to replace uniforms (I was in Minneapolis and had to mail order all of my uniform items). I told he to put some Tide on the lipstick marks and rub it in, then let it sit for a while and then wash them. Tide removed 99% of the lipstick stains and my uniforms were once again wearable. There was one barely noticeable little "pink" mark on the collar and that was it. She was amazed.

Pink. Lipstick. Collar.

Must. Not. Comment.

Actually I spoke too soon Flame.  I put it directly on the shirt I was most upset about (I bought the liquid because you can use it as a spot treatment as well, I also put it in the wash as stated on the bottle) and I took it out of the dryer before it was dry.  The spots of chapstick are gone from that shirt but the other t-shirts that I dried all the way still have spots.  I also put it directly on my most favorite t-shirt of all that had what I think was an oil stain from Italian dressing that had been on the shirt FOREVER.  The stain came out of that shirt as well.

So I put the stain releaser on each of the spots on the other shirts and I'm getting ready to rewash after my towels are done.  I will update again after that load goes through the washer again.

And I thought it was bad enough having to go up to Port Hueneme.  Then again, CNT's were incredibly easy to clean.

Yes, fortunately. And these were CNTs. They were the only practical summer white uniform to own.


Ohhh, and Eupher....... shshhhhhh........
