go out and buy a bar of FELS NAPTHA LAUNDRY SOAP...it's like a buck and YOU CAN BUY IT OFFLINE IF YOU CANT FIND IT...
THEN...you can either shave off a bit of the soap, and add it to water and let it sit to make a gloppy kind of paste-OR you can actually rub the bar of wet soap across the stains...then gently work it into the stain with YOUR FINGERS-no brush unless its baby soft...the paste works really good on food stains that have set in..either way though the FELS works the best-followed by a nice washing with TIDE ORIGINAL LIQUID. (no powder please)...DO NOT PUT SHIRT INTO DRYER until you are sure stain is gone..if they are really bad-apply soap and let sit for 25 minutes or so, or repeat process...once the shirt is clean-make sure to iron and spray with starch which helps keep the ring around the color at bay. Fels Naptha has been around for a 100 plus years..it's also good on poison ivy, zits, and for plant sprays.. www.felsnaptha.com (on white shirts-also add a bit of clorox bleach to the whites wash-but not too much an NO GENERIC BRAND PLEASE-they don't work like clorox. :wavey2:

I like soaking my clothes in Shout before throwing them in the wash, but I'll defer in this case in favor of the expert.

my dad owns a cleaners...take it to him :-)

yeah, we don't use that soap specifically, but he uses a soap solution with a brush....

with white shirts, it's nice to totally bleach it (the whole thing) every few months - 1 year. gets the shirt lookin like new.

Amazing, another Korean with a dry-cleaner. :borg: Great way to assimilate I guess, the Chinese had laundry services, Koreans have the dry-cleaning market cornered. :heh:
