Anyone have a baseball player in the family?

Answered

We have two travel baseball boys and they have two sets of uniforms, one with gray pants and one with white (of all stupid things). These white pants are the bane of my existance. I have tried everything I know from pre wash to Oxi Clean to Lestoil, bleach etc. etc. to get the dirt and grass stains out after games but I can't get them really clean. Any ideas you might have would be greatly appreciated.

My grandson's team mom's are always talking about laying them out on the driveway and using a power washer! One gal said she took them to a "do it yourself "car was!

  Now that's extreme! But if it works why not?

Simple Green!!!! I discovered this after many a frustrating attempts at cleaning my sons uniforms! Put in a spray bottle mixed with water 70% Simple Green/30%water and spray the spots. Use an extra rinse cycle because the Simple Green will leave a green haze if not completely rinsed out.

I used to use liquid automatic dishwashing detergent. Wet the pants put the detergent on and scrub then rinse and put through regular wash

  Thank you Mcsorleybj. I haven't heard of that one either but it's worth a try. Just a good thing the season is almost over. I think I will be trying all of these come spring. Thanks again.
