We’ve all been there. It’s a hot summer day and you’re enjoying an ice cream…until it drips on your shirt. You’re out at a barbecue and then “Oops!”, a barbecued rib slips off your plate and into your lap. Maybe you’re out for a jog in the park, when you trip on your shoelace and skid through that patch of grass. Stains happen to all of us, especially when we least expect it, and although we try to be careful, every now and then it seems like the worst spills end up on our favorite white tees. Don’t worry about next time. Here are three great ways for you to clean up and get the stains out of your favorite white tee:

Method 1: Dish Detergent

It’s great for getting pesky grease stains out of your pans and now, it can work on your clothing. First, choose a grease fighting brand of dish detergent. Next, squirt some directly on the stain and let it soak in. It may take awhile. For more stubborn stains, use a toothbrush to give it a bit of scrub. Finally, wash or rewash the t-shirt in hot water.

Method 2: Laundry Booster

To boost the power of your traditional detergent, you could always add some borax or baking soda to your load of laundry, or if you can find one that works well for your clothing, a normal stain remover could do the trick.

Method 3: Bleach

It’s been a trusted fixer of stains for many years and it can be just the thing to fix up your stain problem. Add a bit to your load of whites.
