      Carbona works too

      I've used Carbona before and it works well but you have to know what stain you have. They have different bottles for different stains. I believe the have up to 8 different formulas. You can find it at Jo Ann Fabrics. I use Oxy clean on my infant son's stains and it does take it out but the fabric does feel like it's been starched. However I never had a leeching problem with his clothes.
      Wanted:- 12" Robin Shoes; Mego Batcave, Mego Die-cast Batman-loose, Mattel-BSG Gold Cylon loose.

        I just did am Oxy clean last night for about 15 suits.

        Warm water in a bucket with a few shots of Oxy. Swirl them around then individually hold one, shoot a little Oxy into your hand - not directly onto the outfit - spread it around the outfit, then lightly scrub with a soft toothbrush. Then rinse and hang until dry.

        When scrubbing a dirt spot, first go with the fabric grain and not against it. Usually that will get rid of most standard grime. If not, scrub in specific directions.

        For body and heads, I use a white pillow case or t-shirt, wet it with warm Oxy water and wash by hand, then dry. If the head has grime, use the scrubbing technique. Be careful not to scrub too hard because weak paint areas will rub out.
